For the first time since March, every county along the Maryland Eastern Shore was wetter than normal during October. Precipitation in most areas was twice of normal. A slow moving warm front on the 10th and 11th and a strong northeaster on the 16th alone produced the normal monthly precipitation for October. On a county weighted average October monthly precipitation ranged from 6.3 inches in Kent and Queen Anne's County to 7.3 inches in Caroline County. Normal is around 3.0 inches. The Eastern Shore entered October in poor shape. In spite of near normal September precipitation, 13 of 17 groundwater monitoring wells in Maryland and Delaware were below normal, 9 set new monthly records for September and 7 set all-time record lows. Groundwater levels in Queen Anne's County reached an all time low in late September. North East (Cecil County) approved a temporary moratorium on new water allocations. The town rented a pump to draw water from farther down the North East Creek. The drought emergency declaration with level two water restrictions remained in effect. The rain came too late to help farmers with their summer crops. It will help wheat and barley that was planted during the month. On the 18th United States Department of Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman declared a drought disaster in several states including Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey. Farmers were eligible to apply for low interest loans. Compensation was also given for farmers who were raising livestock. Many had to dip into corn supplies that were usually saved for winter. Many farmers suffered losses. In Talbot County alone, agricultural losses were estimated at 10 million dollars. Corn and soybean harvests were down as much as 80 percent and hay and vegetable harvests were down as much as 70 percent. Statewide corn yields were down 41 percent and soybean yields were down 47 percent from 2001. The soybean yield of 21 bushels per acre was the lowest since 1966. The soybean production of 10.6 million bushels was the lowest since 1993. The corn production of 33.2 million bushels was the lowest since 1993. At the Baltimore-Washington International Airport, October monthly precipitation was 6.01 inches, 2.85 inches above normal.
