Recent rainy days have given a big boost to local farmers and producers.

With up to 100 millimetres of precipitation in parts of the province this past weekend, the rain is being heralded as "a blessing" by Airdrie-area farmer Larry Woolliams.

"The rain is impeccable timing for a lot of us around the Rocky View area," he said. 

Woolliams Farms, which grows hay, seed and straw, benefited significantly from the wet weather, with Airdrie receiving more than 70 millimetres of rain since last Friday.
