Weather slows Virginia crop growth in weekly survey
The Virginia Department of Agriculture reported cool dry conditions along the coast and heavy rain in the Blue Ridge slowed growth of hay and wheat. Corn in Augusta and Albemarle suffers from reduced cultivation while eastern and southern regions show better yields. Apples and peaches grow well though June moisture allowed some scab, and rainfall varied by station from .13 to 1.97 inches. Unseasonably cool weather ranged from 68 to 94 degrees across the state.
