Rebar quoted in BDN article on Maine gardener coping with drought
John Rebar, executive director of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, was quoted in the Bangor Daily News article, “Thinking like a desert farmer helps Maine grower cope with drought.” Since May, a succession of hot, dry, rainless days have dominated around the state, according to the article. For many farmers in Sagadahoc, Androscoggin, Cumberland and York counties, it’s been a rough summer, though stress has not registered across the board, the article states. “The situation can vary from farm to farm depending upon the crop and their management practices,” Rebar said.
