Weather and crop prospects across several counties this week
Warm week with two hot days and scattered showers boosted field work. Wheat rye and barley progress varied by region with harvests nearing for barley at Queen Anne and peaches being thinned. Oats, corn, potatoes and tomatoes show good growth while pastures remain strong in northern counties and poorer in some southern spots. Planting soybeans continues as the growing season stays ahead of normal. JONN R. WEEKS.
