June Agriculture Report Warns of Poor Wheat and Hay
The June agriculture summary notes a mild wet winter and cold winds reducing crops across England. Wheat is thin island wide, worse in eastern districts, with better colour in faland wheats and beans than clover—oats mostly failed except in fen districts. turnips fine but rain scarce for early sowings. Hay is thin except in rich meadows while fodder demand rises at encampments. Bark prices steady near last year. wool down, apples and hops fall imminent in Kent due to pests. Smithfield cattle trade steady with prime beef around four shillings per stone. store hogs dear. lamb and mutton cheaper amid rot and lambing losses.
