Hay yields improve and an overabundant last year crop is unlikely. Wheat rye barley and oats are thriving with possible rust risk if rain persists. Potatoes tomatoes and garden crops grow fast with heavy plantings. Cherries and strawberries harvested though early frost and rain damaged berries. cepcowa ries and blackberries show promise.
