The Atlanta Sun notes crop conditions in Middle Georgia show patches of well maintained fields and high expectations for a good crop, yet overall cotton stands look sickly due to lice damage from wet weather.

Fertilizer use is high and expectations remain cautious for yields compared with last year.
