A wet spring will likely force some gaps in sweet corn and other vegetables coming from New York state’s Finger Lakes region this summer and fall.
Jason Turek, a partner at Turek Farms based in King Ferry, NY, said some of his fields have received almost 14 inches of rain since early May. As of the second week of June, Turek said his farmland hadn’t seen a completely dry weekend in about 30 weeks.
