Mosquitoes aren't the only problem caused by spring's rain.
Wet conditions are putting some of the area's corn and soybean crops at risk.
Crop loss in Dodge County varies.
Some fields are intact others are striped and marked with brown, cracked soil where water soaked through.
Dodge County lost nearly 3 percent of its corn and soybean crops since April, which was the third wettest month on record in Fremont.
"All of these fields are flat and poorly drain,” said Nathan Mueller, a farm consultant for the University of Nebraska Lincoln. “There's a lot more issues with loss”
Mueller helps farmers determine whether they should replant or file an insurance claim.
“It could or could not have an effect on the price of cereal at the grocery store because of corn (for example),” Mueller said. “So it's kind of wait and see. Locally, it's going to have some impact on producers.”
Outside Fremont, most of Randy Ruppert's 220 acres or corn was unaffected by April and May showers.
"No-till farming has really made a difference,” Ruppert said. “If we would have had to plow all these fields, you'd probably be looking at way more than two to three percent not planted. The new technologies have really helped us to battle situations like this."
Ruppert says for others the rain hasn't been so nice.
"I know a lot of people along the Elkhorn Valley, the Platt Valley, who have either had to replant completely or plant in wet spots.
Farmers are weary of the coming months despite blue skies in the forecast.
"Farmers are always two weeks away from a drought,” Ruppert said. “We never know, so we try and stay planned ahead."
