Crop conditions report shows favorable weather and varied regional needs
The USDA weekly crop summary notes very favorable temperatures east of the Rockies and in the middle plateau, with cooler spells and frosts in exposed areas. Rain is needed in parts of the lower Ohio and central Mississippi valleys, southern Florida, and eastern Texas, while moisture remains ample elsewhere. Harvesting of winter wheat proceeds, oats yields are strong in the central valleys but lighter in the Ohio valley, and cotton shows general improvement though grassy fields persist in the coast and Texas. Boll weevils decline in Texas, tobacco outlook is promising, and apples appear fair in major states. Florida watermelons near exhaustion with few large shipments expected, while Tillman is moved to Lexington with his uncle and a deputy sheriff, awaiting a September court date.
