Weekly crop report notes excess rain in Atlantic cotton belt
The Department of Agriculture reports reduced winter wheat seeding in some states and slight overall area changes. No major losses from freezing in the East and South, but significant reductions in several Western states. Spring wheat area up in Lakota and territories, down in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Peru. Overall condition averages rise except Florida and California. Atlantic coast rains and hot spells hinder crop growth west of the Mississippi, with state condition averages listed and a preliminary acreage up 2.3 percent to about 19 million acres.
