If patience is a virtue, then farmers in Ontario may be the most virtuous of them all.

Weeks of drought-like conditions have farmers concerned about their crops and resulted in wheat field fires. They’re not out of the woods yet, but the skies opened up overnight to provide some relief.

Producers took to Twitter to celebrate the rainfall regardless of how much they received.
