Older fields in the southwest are up to better stands than the Wiregrass, but they have also cut out. Some fields of cotton have begun to shed leaves. Most of the bolls set low on the plant and are not likely to be harvested. Some areas have received enough rain to maintain the crop, but they are few in number. Extensive rain is needed for the plants to respond, but there is little time left in the season for it.
Peanuts are also in poor condition because of the drought.
