Farmers in western North Carolina are adding up their losses after the heavy rains from Subtropical Storm Alberto.
Hendersonville farmer Randy Edmundson thinks about 70 of his 110 acres (44 hectares) are under water after the storms. Edmundson told the Asheville Citizen-Times many of his crops have drowned and the wet conditions will delay planting.
He says up to 45 acres (18 hectares) of sweet corn will be lost.
