Yields are reported better than originally thought. A hard frost to kill weeds would allow producers to complete harvest on some of the later maturing varieties. Planting continues under good conditions. Stands should be well established before the winter sets in. Average yields are reported.
Yields are normal and quality is reported to be good.
In the end, blue mold did not prove to be a serious concern as earlier thought thanks to timely actions from producers and the Blue Mold Task Force. The crop is in the barn with normal yields reported. Yields are expected to be above average. Market conditions were very good this year and producers were able to market the entire crop readily. Harvest is close to being complete with average yields expected.
