Crop is in good condition. Rain dam aged acreage is recouping. Crop is trying to recover from the abundant rains. Plant growth and development are fair but slow. Picking continues to increase.
Quality is fair to good with variable size.
Yields are off some. Some plantings have been set back due to strong winds and lack of pollination. Plantings after Irene have mostly good germination. Growers are harvesting some super selects and selects with mostly good quality and color. There is some foliage burn from the strong gusty winds.
