The weather is once again playing havoc with the potential onion crop in the mucklands.
Early in the season, it was too dry and too hot. Now, saturated ground is stressing some tender plants.
Perhaps as much as 20 percent of the crop won't make it to harvest.
Paul Mortellaro said the situation is hardly a disaster at this point.
"It would be nice to get some normal weather," Mortellaro said, "rather than ' it's too hot, it's too cold, it's too dry, it's too wet.' "
