NEW LEBANON -- While many people thought the rain during the Fourth of July holiday weekend was a curse, it's a blessing for some.
The Dayton region is actually below average for precipitation so far for 2013.
For farmers in New Lebanon, they say what we've seen is just enough.
We talked with Brian Garber of Garber Farms in New Lebanon last September when his corn crops were destroyed because of little rain.
Garber said 2012 was the worst drought he's ever seen.
"We probably lost half of our crop last year. It was a tough year," he said.
His crops this year are a perfect color.
"When the sun hits it from the east and it's real green," Garber said.
But, too much more rain could set harvesting back.
The Garbers plan to harvest their sweet corns in the next 10 days.
They sell corn and soy beans outside their farm, located off US 35 East in New Lebanon.
Garber says you can plan to see lower grocery prices.
