Cool weather is slowing the maturity of cotton and peanuts. Cotton harvest is active. The tobacco markets are closed. The sugarcane and soybean harvest are starting. Haying is active weather permitting.
Armyworms are a problem in some hay fields.
Seventy eight percent of the peanuts for nuts are reported harvested. Pastures are dry in the northern two-thirds of the State, but the southwest counties have standing water. In the Panhandle, permanent pasture conditions are declining seasonally with cooler weather. Winter forage planting was delayed by dry soils conditions. In the north counties, haying is active.
