Wet Weather Stalls Cotton and Peanut Harvest in Terry County
Persistent cloudiness and intermittent rain stalls Terry County harvests. NWS forecasts 20 to 30 percent shower chances through Thursday, with continued moisture later in the week. Growers, led by IPM agent Scott Russell, warn yields and timelines will shrink as fields stay damp, delaying cotton and peanut harvests and raising disease risk. Gins report 3 to 7.5 inches of rain in various areas, no hail or major damage observed.
