Weather Crop Bulletin Summary of Week
The week saw average temperatures slightly below normal and above average precipitation overall, sparing extreme northwestern and southeastern counties. Early days were dry with abundant sun, allowing corn ground plowing to 75 percent and planting about 45 percent, with completion expected by the 25th. From Thursday to Saturday storms brought heavy rain, thunder, and hail in many central areas, yet hail was brief and statewide damage minimal. Flooding delayed plowing and planting on lower grounds in southern, central, and eastern districts, though field work remained close to last year’s pace.
