Days Acknowledgements Weather Forecast Cool with moderate chance of rain statewide. A slight warming trend but highs only in the 60s-low 70s through Saturday. Another cool front with clouds and chance of rain returning Sunday and Monday. I for one would appreciate warmer weather. Lots of fields, though, are turning yellow from loss of N. Carl Hayden reports the crop in Chicot County to be in G S 6-7 with late wheat still in 5.
Growth is slow if at all and there is quite a bit of water damage.
Crop is judged fair in this area. Ken Adams reports the wheat in the south Arkansas county area to be in good shape, mostly entering G S 7. Hank Chaney reports that wheat in Prairie County is slow growing and in fair condition, mostly in G S 6-7. Some fields do not seem to be responding to N fertilization and water damage is pretty common. They need warm dry weather to plant rice and forget about wheat for a while.
