yellowing due to nitrogen deficiency became more evident as the month progressed. Flooding plagued lowlying fields along the lower Ohio River Valley and Missouri Bootheel during the first half of the month while

drought continued to stress corn and soybeans in parts of the Great Lakes region. In the southern Great Plains

and Southeast, virtually all cotton fields had progressed into the boll setting stage by mid-month and bolls

were opening more than 1 week ahead of the average pace. Many areas from the Mississippi Delta through

year crop. Average yield per acre, at 60.1 was up 2.0 bushels from 1997. The area harvested for grain was

estimated at 5.87 million acres, 5 percent less than 1997.

Nebraska, and Oregon had yields above 1997. In California, yields were lower than a year earlier due to the

shortened growing season and poor weather. Hot, dry weather reduced yields in Michigan compared to a

year ago, but accelerated the harvest, which was completed in less than 2 weeks. Harvest started slowly in the

northern Great Plains, but by October 1, cooler temperatures combined with dry weather improved harvest

and stockpiling conditions. In California, harvest began 3 to 4 weeks later than normal and continued until

late November. Sucrose content was expected to be below average in most States due to above-average

temperatures during most of the summer.
