Caretakers are mowing, chopping and discing cover crops that are competing for surface soil moisture. There was rain in most areas this past week. The amount ranged from heavy to light. Hot weather is lowering the quality of some crops. Some tomato growers are not making third picks due to a low market.
Quality is good.
Harvest should be mostly complete in about two weeks. Quality of beans from hand picks is mostly good. Volume harvested is light. Growth and development are normal. Picking is steady.
