Default Do you cover your tomatoes with visqueen?

I have had a very good year with tomatoes but now that it’s raining so much my pick bucket is mostly empty. Even the green tomatoes will rot. In the last two weeks I have recorded 11 inches of rain. The vines are still growing , producing flowers but no fruit set. Humidity is very high , but there is nothing I can do to correct that. I could control the amount of water to the plants with poly or visqueen but would this improve fruit set? My guess is that I would have less fruit rot since I could better control irrigation. Karpes
