HARDIN COUNTY __ For the period of April 15-30, Extension rainfall reporters recorded an average  of 1.78 inches of rain in Hardin County.

Goshen Township received 2.69 inches for the April 15-30 period, for the most of any of the township sites. Marion Township received 1.30 inches, and  Washington Township received 1.34 inches for the April 15-30 period, the least of the township  sites.
