Other showers over the rest of the week and weekend have kept growers out of the fields in most areas. Most fields have areas of water damage. Cool and cloudy weather while fields have been saturated has minimized the negative impact of this excess moisture. It will be another week before we can do an accurate evaluation of this loss. Many growers will be back in the fields in the next several days.
Commodities report Cabbage continues to make great progress with the cooler weather.
Many fields will experience some loss from water damage. Diamondback moth trap counts this week were more than 50 per trap, up from 12 last week. Sweet corn planting is on hold until fields dry. Earlier planted fields are now up to ten inches in height but have lost the good color during this wet and cool period. European corn borer trap counts this week averaged 43 moths per trap, up from nine last week.
