Dewey Donnell has spent a lifetime farming in northeastern Louisiana. Like most farmers in the region, he’s navigated his fair share of hurricanes, floods and other weather extremes. But he’s never seen an August like 2022.
“We had at least 10 days of straight rain beginning that third week of August,” Donnell recalled. “I’ve seen it come a lot of rain, but outside of a hurricane, I’ve never seen it rain like this at this time of year.”
