Cabbage Acreage in Muscatine Area Falls Short
Cabbage acreage in the Muscatine district drops to an estimated 600 acres planted this year from about 2 200 in prior years. Planting is roughly half done and growth appears strong on plants that have been set. Weather has been cool and not ideal, delaying planting by a week to ten days. Most growers expect completing planting by late next week with movement from the area starting late June or early July.
