Crops Still In Field In Terry County Waiting For Dry Weather
Terry County workers wait for sun and dry conditions to finish cotton and peanut harvests. Extension agent Jerry Warren says harvest is about one fourth to one third complete with irrigated cotton largely stripped while dryland cotton remains stressed. Forecast calls for clouds and possible rain or snow into early next week, delaying field work. Peanut dug and on top should fare better than underground vines which risk rot, with potential shifts in acreage between peanuts and cotton next spring.
