The aggregate yield index for all crops excluding vegetables ran 10 percent below 1942 but above the 10-year average. Cotton, wheat, peanuts and sorghums bore most losses due to drought from July to September, though small grains benefited from harvesting conditions. The drought was offset by favorable weather later, aiding harvest and labor utilization.
