Alabama farmers receive a 30 day outlook from the National Weather Service predicting a shift from below normal to normal temperatures from mid December to mid January with above normal rainfall.

Cotton and soybean harvests may lag. small grains may improve. cattle may reduce hay feeding as forage improves. A separate note explains the outlook is an average, not a forecast. The report also covers a nationwide cotton assessment referendum, with USDA advising mail ballots December 13-17 to raise the upland cotton assessment by 0.4% plus $1 per bale, contingent on two-thirds approval or majority representing two-thirds of cotton.
