Corn crop improves but needs rain in Corn Belt
The 1977 corn crop is developing rapidly but requires more rain in parts of the Corn Belt and the South. As of June 19, the national crop was rated good, with Missouri and Georgia showing stress. Rain favored some regions while hampering winter wheat harvests in the Great Plains. Tobacco remains a major income in several states, led by North Carolina and Kentucky, with substantial shares of farm receipts.
