Many hay producers trying to cut and harvest hay between showers. This will be the first cutting of hay this year for most of them. Corn and grain sorghum conditions still improved. Pastures are finally greening-up nicely due to the recent rainfall. \nThe rains have really gotten the crops in the county off and running. It appears the farmers will be able to get a few cuttings of hay in now. The \n \n only concern now is the rising temperatures. We reached the high 90's several times this week. We are also poised for potential disease problems. \nFarmers cutting and baling hay in some fields - having some problems curing hay with high humidity and afternoon popcorn showers - soil moisture conditions in good shape at this time. \nScattered rain in the county. Cutting hay. We need rain. \nDISTRICT 6 - EAST CENTRAL Late planted cotton is struggling. Some soybeans still being strip planted resulting in poor stands. A good bit of cotton and peanuts are laid by. Some corn silage harvested and field corn is being irrigated again. Good hay cutting being done now. \nScattered showers, but no widespread rain this week. Crops look generally good, but could use another rain. \nStill getting scattered showers. Keep them coming! \nDISTRICT 7 - SOUTHWEST We received 1.5\" of rainfall. \nDISTRICT 8 - SOUTH CENTRAL Some wet spots in field crops are drowned in areas. Peanuts are yellow due to too much rain and nodulation not working due to lack of oxygen. Black Shank showing up in most tobacco fields. TSWV is still taking its toll on tobacco. Most cotton and peanut fields look good. Farmers applying foliar nutrients and applying herbicides and fungicides. Applying sucker control and insecticides to tobacco. Hay producers trying to cut and dry hay between rain showers. \nBlueberries and blackberries are fair. \nStill getting frequent rains mostly in the mid to late afternoon hours. Crops responding to rainfall and looking good. Timing crop sprays becoming difficult in many cases due to rainfall and inadequate drying time - but farmers are proud of the rain. In cotton egg and worm counts are up and many non-Bt fields being treated for tobacco budworm. Tobacco harvest underway. Overall a good week. \nMoisture conditions holding. Insect and pest management are increasing. \nDISTRICT 9 - SOUTHEAST Good hay weather across the county. Some scattered showers during the later part of the week. \nContact Information David S.

Showers fell across the State last week, according to the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service. Heavy rains caused erosion in south Georgia and limited field activities throughout the State. Crop conditions improved around the State. Rains helped replenish pond and stream levels. County Extension Agents reported an average of 3.4 days suitable for fieldwork. \n \nSurplus moisture caused yellowing of foliage in cotton and peanut fields. Corn stalks were weakened by increased soil moisture. Rain hampered applications of growth regulators, fungicides and herbicides. Weeds remained a problem in cotton fields. Producers turned to planes to apply needed sprays. Cutworms were seen in peanut fields. \n \nWeather allowing, producers prepared for second cutting of hay.

Getting ready for second cutting of hay when the weather breaks. \nDISTRICT 2 - NORTH CENTRAL The blueberries are looking especially good and abundant. \nRain continued throughout last week; has made it difficult for many farmers to get into the field; hay harvest and quality has suffered from the wet weather. \nHeavy rain - fields too wet for cultivation - rain prevented spraying fruit and vegetable crops with fungicides for disease control. \nDISTRICT 3 - NORTHEAST Still getting showers throughout the county. \nDISTRICT 4 - WEST CENTRAL Six plus inches of rain fell county wide this week. \nRains have slowed producers down, weeds are getting out of control in cotton. \n \n Rain events 6 days out of 7. Broke out the airplanes to spray, fields too wet to put equipment in, hay harvest continues to lag behind due to wet weather. One section of the county received 4.5 - 5 inches in an hour, Friday, July 2. \nDISTRICT 5 - CENTRAL More welcome rain this week! Two-three inches or more in some areas of the county. Rains hampering hay harvest but pasture and hayfield conditions continue to improve. Corn and grain sorghum conditions improving also. Pond and stream levels continue to rise due to the rains. \nWe have gotten six consecutive days of rainfall which has been extremely beneficial to the county. \nKeep the rain coming! \nDISTRICT 6 - EAST CENTRAL Some areas are too wet which is causing weakened corn stalks and yellow peanut foliage. Washing out fertilizer in some cotton fields which is causing stunted growth and yellowing of leaves. \nDISTRICT 7 - SOUTHWEST Rain! \nRain, rain, rain. We received 0.97\" of rainfall. Crops are in good to excellent condition. \nWe have good moisture, also it has been a little easier to cure hay this past week in most areas of the county. \nWet weather has made field operations difficult, plant growth regulator applications on cotton behind schedule along with fungicide, herbicide and land plaster applications to peanuts. Heavy rainfall in some parts of county has caused severe erosion in some fields. \nDISTRICT 8 - SOUTH CENTRAL Blueberries and blackberries are fair. \nAfternoon showers have covered the majority of the county - some excessive rain in areas. Peanut crop looking good, but seeing more spotted wilt - also cutworms. Cotton crop looking good, egg counts increasing. Tobacco sucker control in full swing. Corn crop showing signs of leaf blight. Overall, a good wet week. \nScattered showers have finally covered the whole county with good rainfall. Pastures and hayfields look good. Row crops (corn, peanuts, cotton, and soybeans) all have really improved and look good due to the rainfall. \nDISTRICT 9 - SOUTHEAST Afternoon showers are preventing hay harvest. \nContact Information David S.

Up to 5 inches of rain fell across the State last week, according to the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service. Scattered showers throughout the week helped improve crop conditions. Rains helped green-up pastures and hay fields. Water levels in ponds and streams rose. County Extension Agents reported an average of 3.4 days suitable for fieldwork. \n \nRains improved row crop and vegetable conditions. Producers continued to plant soybeans. Weather allowing, producers continued side-dressing and applying growth regulators to cotton. Sucker control was applied on tobacco fields and herbicides and fungicides on cotton and peanuts. \n \nDaily rains halted hay harvest and slowed applications of fungicides and herbicides. Weed growth remained a problem with the increased soil moisture. Gray Leaf Spot was a problem in St. Augustine grass. Rains hurt the quality and yield of blueberry and blackberry harvest. Excessive rain caused abandonment of some vegetable fields in south Georgia.

Has stopped activity. \nGreat rains this week! \nDISTRICT 2 - NORTH CENTRAL Afternoon thunderstorms occurring daily, many very heavy. \nDISTRICT 3 - NORTHEAST Rain is making it difficult to put up quality hay. \nSix inches of rain at Extension Office this week. Some areas reported only about 2\" to 3\" this week. \nDISTRICT 4 - WEST CENTRAL It has rained everyday this week. \nPigweed and Morning Glories have been giving peanut and cotton problems. \n \n From one extreme to another, too dry to too wet. Rainfall 6 days this week. Fungicide applications on peanuts difficult because of wet conditions; hay harvest lags because of weather; hay quality going backwards because it can't be cut at optimum. Weeds are loving these growing conditions; spraying difficult because of wet conditions. Corn crop looks great. \nTwo plus inches rain received by most last week, along with the scattered showers of weeks before has greatly helped pastures \u0026 hayfields rebound. Cutting \u0026 baling hay. Fertilizing pasture \u0026 hayfields. Routine care of livestock \u0026 poultry. Soybeans are being planted again. \nDISTRICT 5 - CENTRAL Welcome rain and lot's of it! We had 4+ inches in most areas of the county this week. Some areas had even more. Pastures and hayfields finally started to green-up really well. Corn and grain sorghum conditions also improving due to the rain. Pond and stream levels also beginning to rise. \nHay situation looks good currently. Grass that wasn't growing is taking off! Haven't had good hay harvesting weather in 2 weeks. If rain continues to threaten daily \u0026 humidity stays high then quality of hay may suffer. This is much better than no hay due to drought! \nWe have gotten plenty of rainfall over the past week. The rains have helped our vegetable crops. Our pastures have begun to rebound and things are starting to look up. We are watching out for disease problems. \nHeavy rainfall received over much of our area this week - rainfall received almost every day of week - not much in the way of field activity due to extended periods of rain. Gray Leaf Spot has become a problem in St. Augustine grass due to wet weather conditions. Pasture and hay field conditions are much improved due to rainfall received. \nRain continues! Spraying for weeds and finishing soybean plantings. Haying continues with many producers waiting to cut due to afternoon rain showers. \nDISTRICT 6 - EAST CENTRAL Getting frequent rains, having to rely on airplanes to get over cotton and peanut fields. Getting side-dress fertilizer and Mepiquat on cotton, fungicides on peanuts. Finally cutting hay. \nFrequent afternoon showers, crop conditions have improved. \nStill getting scattered showers. \nDISTRICT 7 - SOUTHWEST Crops in good condition due to rains over the past three weeks. Farmers getting behind on weed control, and fungicide and growth regulator applications. \nDaily thundershowers. \nAt least 5 inches of rain in certain areas of the county. \nIt has been hard to cure hay with frequent afternoon showers. However, the rain has been good for other crops. \nRain events almost every day this week. Difficult to stand up in the field with equipment. Hay harvest brought to a standstill, quality declines as it becomes over mature. Corn crop looks good. \nDISTRICT 8 - SOUTH CENTRAL Picking pepper but losing a lot to sun scald. Applying sucker control to \n \n tobacco and applying herbicides to cotton and peanuts. Applying landplaster to peanuts. Applying 1st or 2nd application of a fungicide on peanuts. Corn crop looks good with recent rains. Daily rains have halted hay cutting. Topping tobacco. Scouts have begun scouting cotton. \nBlueberries and blackberries are fair to good. \nDaily rains this week are hampering watermelon harvest and cutting hay. \nGood rains over a portion of the county. Still drier areas of county exist. Majority of all crops in good shape. \nWidely scattered showers in the county. South half of the county has had excessive rainfall the past two weeks 8 to 10 inches. The north side has had less than 2 inches of rain for May and June. Cotton and peanuts look good. Controlling weeds have been a problem in both crops. Afternoon showers are hurting blueberry and blackberry harvest. They are reducing quality and yields. \nHeavy rain daily is causing problems with weed control and fungicide applications. Some vegetable fields have been abandoned due to excess rain causing harvest delays. \nDISTRICT 9 - SOUTHEAST No comments available. \nContact Information David S.

Scattered showers brought moisture amounts of a trace to over 5 inches of rain. Moisture helped replenish ponds and streams and improved crop conditions. Areas of the State are still in need of more moisture for crops and pastures. County Extension Agents reported and average of 4.7 days suitable for fieldwork. \nFrequent showers caused problems for producers trying to control weeds. Fungicides and insecticides were applied to peanuts, cotton and tobacco. Cotton producers sprayed growth regulators and continued side-dressing cotton, as weather permitted. Tobacco plants were topped and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus remained a problem for tobacco growers. \nVegetable growers neared completion of squash harvest and started harvesting sweet corn and bell peppers. Wheat and hay harvest continued. Rains allowed some producers to replant soybeans and helped recover dry land corn.

Most were around but not here in the county. \nDISTRICT 2 - NORTH CENTRAL Heavy rains in scattered thunderstorms this week. Many hay fields cut during the latter portion of the week. \nDISTRICT 3 - NORTHEAST No comments available. \nDISTRICT 4 - WEST CENTRAL Afternoon showers continue. \nVariable amounts of rainfall, Monday thru Thursday, from 1.5 inches at the least to 6 inches in other areas of the county. Very wet in places. Weed control is suffering because of good growing conditions and inability to get in the fields to spray. Same for leafspot in peanuts. Pastures and hay crop have \n \n really improved. \nScattered storms provided some relief to dry conditions; pastures \u0026 hayfields somehow are holding on but hay crop is extremely weak. Prepping for the millet crop planting \u0026 baling \u0026 feeding hay along with routine care of livestock. \nDISTRICT 5 - CENTRAL Some scattered showers this week. Some areas of the county got around 0.5 inches and some areas got none. Pasture and hayfield conditions improved slightly due to rains last week and some hay producers getting their first cutting of hay this year. Corn and grain sorghum conditions improved slightly also. Wheat harvest nearing completion with good test weights and straw production. Hay feeding continues to livestock due to poor pasture conditions. Extremely hot temperatures and high humidity this week! \nWe were fortunate to have received rainfall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We still are in a deficit. \nGood beneficial rainfall received this week - pastures and hay fields looking much better at this time - weeds increasing in many pastures in our area some pastures being sprayed for weeds after rainfall chances diminish. \nThanks for the rain! \nReceived much needed rain - over a half an inch on both Friday and Saturday (June 11 and 12) and over 2 inches Monday (June 14). \nDISTRICT 6 - EAST CENTRAL Good rains over most of county, some soybean replanting due to heavy rain. Some dryland corn recovery. A few plantbugs in cotton. Putting out cotton growth, regulators, sidedressing cotton, and spraying fungicide on peanuts. \nSome rain. \nDISTRICT 7 - SOUTHWEST Rain! \nWe received 2.36\" of rainfall. Wheat harvest 95% complete. \nVariable rainfall amounts from 1.5 inches to 5.5 inches, pastures and hayfields have improved, weeds growing well, difficult to get in fields to spray. \nDISTRICT 8 - SOUTH CENTRAL Raining every day. Applying insecticides and fungicides to peanuts and tobacco. Applying herbicides to peanuts and cotton. Picking bell pepper and sweet corn. Squash about over. Topping tobacco plants. TSWV is getting worst in tobacco and I am afraid it will be tough on peanuts as well as we progress thru the season. \nBlueberries and blackberries are good. \nScattered rain has slowed down spraying growth regulator on cotton, weed control in cotton and peanuts. Crops look good due to the moisture. \nDISTRICT 9 - SOUTHEAST Much needed rain fell across the county and crop conditions are improving. \n \n Contact Information David S.

Significant rain fell across the State this week, according to the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service. Scattered showers brought temporary relief to fields and pastures. Rains helped relieve mite problems in peaches and improved crop and pasture conditions. Frequent showers limited herbicide applications. County Extension Agents reported an average of 5.2 days suitable for fieldwork. \nFire blight was a problem in apples and tomato spotted wilt virus appeared in tomatoes. Watermelon harvest began, amidst disease and spider mite problems. Weeds emerged after the rains and were a problem in cotton fields. \nWheat and snap bean harvest neared completion. Blackberry and blueberry harvest continued. Producers applied fungicides to vineyards and peanuts, and side-dressed cotton. Rains helped green-up pastures and hay fields. Operators planted soybeans, following some wheat harvest.

Apples are suffering with fire blight - some growers likely to suffer big losses. \nSome hay harvested this week. Spotty thunderstorms across the county. Vineyards are being sprayed with fungicides. \nDISTRICT 3 - NORTHEAST Rainfall should help all conditions improve. \nScattered thunder showers have improved short term situation. \nDISTRICT 4 - WEST CENTRAL \n \n Afternoon showers have really helped the crop situation. Cotton producers are faced with a lot of weeds that are coming up after the rains. Peanut producers are putting on their first fungicide application. Also the rains have helped the mite problems that were starting in the peaches. \nScattered rains over the last two weeks have certainly made a difference in most places. Most areas have received at least some measurable rainfall (about 1 inch average). \nDISTRICT 5 - CENTRAL Welcome rain this week. Most areas of county got 1-2 inches total. Pasture and hayfields greening up a little. Corn and grain sorghum conditions improving slightly. Wheat harvest nearing completion. \nWe finally received a significant amount of rainfall on Tuesday and Wednesday. \nSome beneficial rainfall received this week. Areas of county received different amounts but overall most of the county got some much needed rainfall. Conditions on pastures and hay fields improved for now as a result of rainfall received. Tomato spotted wilt virus affecting tomatoes in this area. \nKeep the rain coming. \nDISTRICT 6 - EAST CENTRAL Major rainfall early Sunday morning and evening put 2 to 7 inches on the ground. \nDryland corn is a \"wash.\" Some fairly general showers over county, some still very dry fields. Soybean planting behind harvested wheat continues. Cotton being sidedressed. Main crops, cotton and peanuts not really hurt by dry spell but will need water from here on out. \nShowers have been welcome. Have had good rain this week. Crops are responding. \nFinally some rain, almost two inches in some areas. Greatly improved crop conditions. \nSome scattered showers which has helped a lot. \nDISTRICT 7 - SOUTHWEST Rain! \nAdequate rain for past 2 weeks has significantly improved pasture and crop condition. \nSnapbean harvest is 90 percent complete. We received 0.23\" of rainfall. \nScattered rainfall has certainly helped outlook. Some areas have been missed altogether. \nDISTRICT 8 - SOUTH CENTRAL Thank God for rain. \nBlueberries and blackberries are 50% good and 50% fair. \nBulk of watermelon farmers have begun harvest. Watermelon diseases beginning to become a factor. Some watermelon fields are having to be sprayed for spider mites. \nSix days suitable for field work is referring to activities like hooded sprayer and nitrogen application. We are too wet for actual tillage. \n \n Parts of county above average rainfall, while other portions extremely dry. Most crops doing good so far. Frequent rains creating some problems in some fields related to herbicide application timing. Still need overall county wide rain. \nScattered rain has helped crops, pastures, and hay fields greatly this past week. Rain amounts have been from over one inch to 4 inches. \nDISTRICT 9 - SOUTHEAST No comments available. \nContact Information David S.

Drought conditions persisted around the State, according the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service. Widely scattered showers provided limited relief but damaged ripe watermelon and tomato crops. Southwest Georgia crop conditions improved while pasture and crop conditions eslewhere continued to decline. County Extension Agents reported an average of 5.7 days suitable for fieldwork. \nTomato Spotted Wilt Virus remained a major problem for tobacco growers, and has appeared in peanut fields. Hay was in short supply forcing cattle producers to increase supplemental feed. Rain is needed to replenish soil moisture and enable row crops to germinate and grow. Lack of moisture caused pecans to drop. \nWheat harvest progressed well. Squash, blackberries and blueberries continued to be harvested. Producers irrigated crops and applied herbicides and fungicides to fields. Thrips remained a problem in cotton fields.

Wheat crop's in the barn with a fair yield \u0026 decent test wt. Pastures \u0026 hayfields hurting and I don't feel so good myself. \nDISTRICT 5 - CENTRAL No rain! Hot and dry! Wheat harvest is in full swing. Good test weights and straw production. Many cattlemen running out of hay supplies and having \n \n to purchase some type of supplement for cattle. Pasture and hayfield conditions continue to decline. Most hay producers have not been able to get any cuttings of hay yet this year. Many have turned cattle on to hayfields to graze what little forage is there. Corn and grain sorghum conditions continue to decline due to the severe drought conditions. \nCrop conditions for hay, pasture, and summer annuals are not good. The only rainfall in the county in about a month has been a couple of scattered showers that only brought about 3 tenths of an inch. Producers are feeding last year's left over hay to beef and dairy herds. In a few cases they have had to feed the limited amount of winter annual hay that they cut this spring. Situation is bad. \nWe are very dry. We are reaching a critical stage in terms of rainfall. \nReceived only 0.2 to 0.3 of an inch of rain this week - conditions very dry poor weed control results from herbicides applied due to weeds being under drought stress - some limited hay cutting going on this week - poor hay yields being reported - need rainfall. \nSome areas of the county received rainfall this week, 1/2 inch was about the highest amount received. Planting has stopped. Irrigation continues as well as small grain harvesting. \nNeed rain! \nDry weather continues to worsen. Scattered showers last week averaged nearly 1/2 inch, not enough to slow evaporative soil losses. \nPlease send rain! \nDISTRICT 6 - EAST CENTRAL Very dry! \nWheat averaging low 50's yield, 62-63 test weight. Some double cropped acres (behind wheat) may not get planted or more acres will shift to soybeans. Some weakened cotton and peanut stands due to dry ground. Corn is pollinating which requires majority of irrigation. \nStill dry. \nDISTRICT 7 - SOUTHWEST It rained! \nAdequate rain the past week. Too much for tomato and watermelon crops nearing harvest. Lesser cornstalk borer and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus in peanut fields. Rain prevented disaster with dryland corn. \nMuch needed rain was received. \nWe received 1.24\" of rainfall. Overall, crops are in good condition. Rainfall prevented wheat harvesting. \nDISTRICT 8 - SOUTH CENTRAL Getting rain. Poor stands of cotton and soybeans due to lack of adequate soil moisture. Applying herbicides and insecticides. Irrigating crops. Picking squash. Supplemental feeding beef cattle. \nBlueberries and blackberries are good. \nLight showers across the county in 2/10 of an inch increments. Averaged 1/2 of an inch since last week's report. Still looking for that good rain event. Water requirements increasing for corn, but most other crops in fair to good shape water wise, but not for long. Peanut cracking sprays going out, and \n \n some fungicides on early planted peanuts. Spotted wilt virus continues to increase in tobacco. Cotton seeing some heavier than usual thrips pressure, but cotton is growing fair. Many weed control options underway in most crops. \nScattered showers every day this week have only totaled only a little over one half inch of rain in the county. This will help, but it will be very temporary. Pastures and hay are very short. Hay is being fed due to shortage of pastures. Pecans are dropping due to moisture shortage. Row crops planted in anticipation of rain may only get enough moisture to germinate but die. \nDISTRICT 9 - SOUTHEAST No comments available. \nContact Information David S.

Dry conditions persisted throughout the State according to the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service. Hot temperatures and dry conditions depleted soil moisture. Widely scattered showers fell across the state late in the week, but provided minimal relief. Pasture and crop conditions continued to decline. Planting slowed due to lack of moisture. County Extension Agents reported an average of 6.5 days suitable for fieldwork. \nTomato Spotted Wilt Virus remained a major problem for tobacco growers. Cotton and peanut producers continued spraying pesticides to control thrips. Hay was being baled and was already at a premium due to drought conditions. Cattlemen fed supplements and extra hay. \nWheat and other small grain harvest progressed with near ideal harvest conditions. Good test weights were reported for wheat. Blackberry and blueberry harvest continued, producing a good, high-quality crop. Irrigated cotton and peanut fields looked good. Other activities included applying fungicides to vineyards, planting cotton and peanuts and the routine care of livestock and poultry. \n \nCrop Progress Table \nCorn, Silked Corn, Dough Cotton, Planted Cotton, Squaring Peanuts, Planted Peanuts, Blooming Peanuts, Pegging Sorghum, Planted Soybeans, Planted Soybeans, Emerged Wheat, Harvested for Grain Onions, Harvested Peaches, Harvested * Revised \n \nMay 30, 2004 17 0 87 6 90 5 0 46 68 50 43 91 15 \n \nPrev Week \n5 0 75 1 73 1 0 36 51 30 11 82 13* \n \nPrev Year \n10 1 \n83 5 \n82 4 0 \n64 53 32 21 85 16 \n \nCrop Condition Table \n \nMay 30, 2004 \n \nCrop \n \nVery Poor \n \nCorn \n \n5 \n \nCotton \n \n3 \n \nHay \n \n7 \n \nPeanuts \n \n2 \n \nSorghum \n \n1 \n \nSoybeans \n \n5 \n \nTobacco \n \n7 \n \nWheat \n \n2 \n \nWatermelons \n \n2 \n \nApples \n \n0 \n \nPeaches \n \n9 \n \nPecans \n \n5 \n \nPasture \n \n7 \n \nPoor Fair Good \n \n--Percentage-- \n \n17 \n \n38 \n \n35 \n \n9 \n \n43 \n \n41 \n \n26 \n \n43 \n \n23 \n \n6 \n \n40 \n \n49 \n \n11 \n \n53 \n \n35 \n \n11 \n \n56 \n \n27 \n \n23 \n \n43 \n \n25 \n \n16 \n \n45 \n \n33 \n \n9 \n \n53 \n \n33 \n \n13 \n \n21 \n \n53 \n \n5 \n \n40 \n \n46 \n \n13 \n \n46 \n \n35 \n \n29 \n \n44 \n \n18 \n \nExcellent \n5 4 1 3 0 1 2 4 3 13 0 1 2 \n \n5 Year Avg 18 2 85 7 90 7 1 62 46 32 41 91 14 \n \nPasture Condition Table - District* Level \n \n May 30, 2004 \n \nVery Poor Poor Fair Good Excellent \n \n--Percentage-- \n \nDist 1(NW) \n \n4 \n \n10 \n \n44 \n \n42 \n \n0 \n \nDist 2(NC) \n \n3 \n \n16 \n \n33 \n \n45 \n \n3 \n \nDist 3(NE) \n \n4 \n \n13 \n \n53 \n \n30 \n \n0 \n \nDist 4(WC) \n \n7 \n \n45 \n \n25 \n \n16 \n \n7 \n \nDist 5(C) \n \n16 \n \n35 \n \n40 \n \n7 \n \n2 \n \nDist 6(EC) \n \n4 \n \n43 \n \n40 \n \n13 \n \n0 \n \nDist 7(SW) \n \n3 \n \n26 \n \n53 \n \n17 \n \n1 \n \nDist 8(SC) \n \n4 \n \n29 \n \n51 \n \n15 \n \n1 \n \nDist 9(SE) \n \n7 \n \n21 \n \n60 \n \n12 \n \n0 \n \n*A list of the counties in each of the nine Georgia \n \nAgricultural Statistics Districts is available at \n \nhttp://www.nass.usda.gov/ga/ctyests/districts.pdf. \n \nSoil Moisture Table \n \nMay 30, 2004 Prev Year \n \n--Percentages-- \n \nVery Short \n \n27 \n \n1 \n \nShort \n \n49 \n \n10 \n \nAdequate \n \n24 \n \n65 \n \nSurplus \n \n0 \n \n24 \n \n5 Year Avg \n24 34 36 \n6 \n \nSoil Moisture Table - District Level \n \nMay 30, 2004 \n \nVery Short Short Adequate \n \n--Percentages-- \n \nDist 1(NW) \n \n10 \n \n52 \n \n34 \n \nDist 2(NC) \n \n4 \n \n34 \n \n62 \n \nDist 3(NE) \n \n7 \n \n54 \n \n39 \n \nDist 4(WC) \n \n16 \n \n57 \n \n27 \n \nDist 5(C) \n \n53 \n \n40 \n \n7 \n \nDist 6(EC) \n \n44 \n \n41 \n \n15 \n \nDist 7(SW) \n \n27 \n \n54 \n \n19 \n \nDist 8(SC) \n \n23 \n \n54 \n \n23 \n \nDist 9(SE) \n \n26 \n \n57 \n \n17 \n \nSurplus \n4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 \n \nWeather Information Table \n \nGEORGIA WEATHER SUMMARY FOR THE WEEK ENDING MIDNIGHT, SUNDAY \n \nMAY 30, 2004 1/ \n \n2004 \n \nAir Temperature \n \nPrecipitation Totals \n \nExtreme Weekly Rain \n \n30 \n \n60 \n \nSoil \n \nLocation \n \nMax Min AvG Weekly Day Day \n \nDay Season Temp \n \nNO DATA AVAILABLE \n \n1/ Weather data supplied by Georgia Automated Environmental Monitoring Network (AEMN) and the office of the State Climatologist, University of Georgia.

Some hay cut this week. Vineyards sprayed with fungicide this week. \nDISTRICT 3 - NORTHEAST No comments available. \nDISTRICT 4 - WEST CENTRAL Producers started to cut wheat. Since it has been so dry cotton producers are asking \"Lowest rate of sidedress fertilizer to put on the cotton?\" \nDry! Thrips damage bad in cotton, have seen some cutworm damage. \nScattered showers late week help, but barely 10+ inch deficit. Prepping equipment for wheat harvest. What little hay has made is being baled...and fed in many cases, some hay fields are now pastures. \nDISTRICT 5 - CENTRAL Dry and hot! No rain at all this week. Water levels in ponds and streams continue to get lower. Crops, pasture, and hayfield conditions continue to decline. Hay feeding to livestock continues. Wheat harvest is in full swing. \nCrop conditions are very bad at this time. None of the scattered showers have occurred around the county in about a month. Hay and pasture conditions are bad and hay is being fed to cattle. \nConditions are very dry. We need rain and plenty of it. \nHot and dry weather continues. Soil moisture is very short. Pasture grasses wilted from drought stress. Hay yields were drastically reduced on spring cutting. Weed control reduced due to drought stress. Blossom end rot problems on tomatoes. Need rainfall relief soon. \nStill need rain. Haying has begun. Small grain harvest continues. \nWe need rain desperately! No hay crop at all. Pasture conditions are late August like! Little to no grazing available. Hay is already at a premium. \nDISTRICT 6 - EAST CENTRAL Dry! \nDrought hasn't hurt corn much, nearly all irrigated cotton and peanut stands good but slightly thin and emergence is prolonged due to dry weather. Pastures going backward rapidly Wheat harvest well underway with good test wt. Very little hay cut so far. \nVery dry. We need rain badly. Crop conditions are starting to decline. \nRecent rain helped crop conditions and should enable planting to continue. \nHot and dry conditions have halted field work except small grain harvest. Too dry to plant. Need rain! \nDISTRICT 7 - SOUTHWEST Hot and dry conditions continue. \n \n No rainfall. Corn stress symptoms. Wheat harvesting, test weight reports good. \nDry, dry, dry! \nDry! \nDISTRICT 8 - SOUTH CENTRAL Dry, dry \u0026 dry. Irrigating and applying roundup to cotton to drought stressed weeds. Planting into dry soil. Spraying insecticides on cotton and peanuts. Controlling weeds in ponds. Feeding cattle supplemental feed/hay but farmers are running short on excess hay. High thrips population and a lot of TSWV showing up in tobacco. \nBlackberries and blueberries are good. \nPlease send rain. \nTypical dry May. Extremely dry and windy. Need calm days for weed control applications and a good rain. Spotted wilt continues to hammer tobacco. Corn in dire need of rain. Young cotton, peanuts and soybeans are doing fine but will need rain soon. Wheat and rye harvest underway - good weather for harvest. \nHot, dry weather has stopped planting of cotton and peanuts. Hay fields and pastures are in very poor condition. No hay has been harvested yet this year. Pecan nut set is very low. It looks like a short crop for 2004. Blueberry and blackberry harvest is progressing very well. We have a very good crop both yield wise and quality wise. Spotted wilt virus in tobacco is bad an average of 20% damage. \nDISTRICT 9 - SOUTHEAST Dry. TSW is working on tobacco. \nDry! \nDry conditions continue. Some corn in severe drought stress. Soil for planting is very dry. \nContact Information David S.

Many of the growers are cutting out the infected leaders. Mostly seeing the disease on the 'Rome' variety. \nSpotty thunderstorms prevent field work and hay cutting. Periodical cicada emergence in this area. \nDISTRICT 3 - NORTHEAST No comments available. \nDISTRICT 4 - WEST CENTRAL Rain is scattered, some areas have had sufficient rainfall, some areas have received none. \nSome hay is being put in. Scattered showers are providing some relief to dry conditions. Routine care of livestock \u0026 poultry; weed control in \n \n hayfields. \nDISTRICT 5 - CENTRAL A few spotty showers this week. We need rain bad! \nScattered showers have helped crop conditions in a few isolated spots. Nothing has improved. We are still dry and need rain! Some corn for silage will not be planted due to dry weather, winter annuals for hay have been cut early and they were poor in quality. Bermuda is just sitting there waiting for moisture. Also, sorghum was to replace the corn that wasn't planted, but it has been too dry to plant it as well. \nWe have gotten sporadic scattered showers, but not enough to provide us with enough water to break the drought. \nDry weather continues. Farmers are cutting and baling hay. Hay yields are down as much as 70% from a normal yield due to dry weather. Hay is in short supply. Spotty afternoon thunderstorms are not much relief. Still very dry in most of the county. \nScattered rains were received in the county. Grain harvesting has begun. Top soil moisture is low. Crop planting continues. We need rain. \nThis spring drought is one of the worst in recent memory. For the month of March our county average taken from 12 locations was 0.14 inches, April's average was 1.35 inches, through May 17 is 1.96 inches. We have had 3.45 inches since the beginning of March. Many livestock producers are faced with decisions of selling calves much earlier than normal and at lighter weights. Some are feeding hay as well. \nWe need rain! \nA few farmers received light showers this week but it was not enough to alleviate the drought conditions. Cattle farmers are still feeding hay and buying supplemental feed due to a shortage of grazing. Farmers irrigated crops all week. Some planting of soybean, cotton and millet fields occurred this week. A lot of farmers will have to wait until they get a rain to continue planting. \nDISTRICT 6 - EAST CENTRAL Corn responding to fertilizer and rain. Good stands of cotton and peanuts. Hay is being cut. Spot showers have allowed planting to continue almost uninterrupted. Wheat harvest will begin next week. \nExtremely dry, hot weather has deteriorated crop conditions and delayed planting. \nSoil moisture is going fast. We need rain. Dryland corn is starting to twist. \nDISTRICT 7 - SOUTHWEST Scattered rain last week over 40% of the county. Some areas received up to 1.5 inches. \nIn general crops are good. Some areas of the county need rain to complete planting. \nCommon rust already appearing in some of the corn fields. Thrip populations are high. Both cotton and peanuts are being sprayed for thrip control. \nPlanting of peanuts, cotton, and soybeans are 50% complete. We received 0.35\" of rainfall. \n \n Rains are scattered. Some areas have had sufficient rainfall, but other areas have had no rainfall in 2 weeks or more. \nDISTRICT 8 - SOUTH CENTRAL Irrigating! Need rain. Planting peanuts and some late cotton. Grasshoppers in conservation tillage cotton. TSWV is getting worst in tobacco. Picking yellow and zucchini squash. Cutting hay. Fish and irrigation ponds are having more problems with weeds due to low water levels from the drought. \nBlueberries and blackberries are good. \nHeavy rain in parts of county, although not county wide. Some areas of county continue to be very dry. \nHarvesting blueberries and blackberries. Berry crop quality looks good. Tomato spotted wilt virus very bad in tobacco damage ranges from 8% to 40% dead plants. Thrips are hurting cotton and peanuts due to high numbers and dry weather. Dry soils did not allow soil applied insecticides to work. \nCucurbits have encountered fusarium wilt. Gummy stem sprays are being made. The crowns of the oldest watermelons are weathered and worn which makes the crop look rough but the disease has not taken off yet! \nDISTRICT 9 - SOUTHEAST Dry. TSW in tobacco. \nSome rain in the county this past week. Rain needed in much of the county. Some planting activities stopped for lack of soil moisture. \nContact Information David S.

The first cutting of hay is underway with some farmers trying to dodge last week's rain. Peaches and apples looking pretty good. \nRain this week prevented field work. Some hay is wet in the field. \nDISTRICT 3 - NORTHEAST Scattered showers (as much as 0.7 inches in spots) this week helped pastures and hay in those areas that received rain. \nDISTRICT 4 - WEST CENTRAL Showers continue. \nPecan growers are spraying for casebearers this week. A lot of cotton and peanuts being put in the ground. A lot of grasshoppers being seen especially in striptill situations. \nWe received 0.10 to 2 inches of rainfall on the 12th and 13th. Farmers were wide open planting peanuts. Very north end of county received very little rain. \n \n Scattered showers last week brought some relieve to dry soils \u0026 really helped pastures \u0026 hayfields. Fescue hay being baled. \nDISTRICT 5 - CENTRAL Very little rain this week! Had about 0.2 of an inch in some areas of the county. Pasture and hayfield conditions are declining and hay feeding continues for most all cattlemen. Most cattlemen are running out of hay so they desperately need rain to help green-up pastures. Most hay producers have not been able to get a cutting of hay yet. Many have turned cows on to hayfields in order to have something for them to eat. Crop and small grain conditions also continue to decline. Wheat harvest will begin soon. \nWe need rainfall. All outdoor burning has been banned. We are probably typical of most counties in Georgia. \nOnly very scattered rain received this past week with passing thunderstorms in the area. Farmers are getting very depressed; have seen a huge increase in insects and pond algae/weeds this month also. \nNeed rain! Cotton planting almost finished. Peanut planting continues. Soybean planting beginning. Pastures/hay fields are hurting due to dry weather. TSWV is showing up. \nDry weather continues to dominate. Many livestock producers are giving out of grass. Hay is being sought to feed to livestock. \nPlease send rain. Subsoil moisture is 0. \nVery light showers fell on part of the county Wednesday, but it was not enough to break the drought. Some fields are in severe moisture stress. Farmers harvested onions, applied fungicides, applied herbicides, planted cotton, planted soybeans, irrigated fields(where they could), and did land preparation this week. Cattle farmers are using supplemental feed due to the short grass situation. \nDISTRICT 6 - EAST CENTRAL Scattered showers throughout county on Wednesday. \nContinued dry, with scattered showers. \nSeeing some chinch bugs in millet. Dry weather. Hay cutting is delayed because of dry conditions. \nDISTRICT 7 - SOUTHWEST We received 0.77\" inch of rainfall. Overall, crops are in good conditions. \nNeed rain on our dryland crops. \nWe received from 2 to 3 inches of rain on the 12th and 13th. \nDISTRICT 8 - SOUTH CENTRAL Thrips everywhere even in corn. Dry weather. Need rain to continue planting. TSWV in tobacco increasing. Irrigating where possible. \nBlueberries and blackberries are good. \nContinuing looking for significant rain event for entire county. Some scattered rainfall, but continue to struggle with less than optimum planting moisture. Spotted wilt is here and impacting tobacco growers. \nPlanting cotton and peanuts. Need some rain because it is starting to get dry. Pastures and hayfields still short. Harvesting highbush blueberries. May start harvesting blackberries late next week. \n \n DISTRICT 9 - SOUTHEAST Need rain! \nReplanting a lot of tobacco due to TSWV. \nRain is much needed. \nContact Information David S.

Rain helped revive pastures and hayfields last week, according to the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service. County Extension Agents reported as much as four inches of rain in some areas. However, more rain was needed. Low humidity, high winds, and warm temperatures dried soils quickly in some areas of west and central Georgia. Hay feeding continued due to slow grass growth. TSWV appeared in tobacco. County Extension Agents reported an average of 5.9 days suitable for fieldwork. \nCotton and peanut planting progressed nicely. Corn and small grain conditions improved, slightly. Blackberry and blueberry crops appeared in good condition. South Georgia's strawberry harvest neared completion. Growers applied pre-pollination sprays to pecans.

Yield is about 1/3 less due to dry weather. \nShowers last week were welcome. A few light scattered showers occurred Sunday, late afternoon and evening. We are still behind on moisture. \nDISTRICT 2 - NORTH CENTRAL Bermuda grass is finally growing. \nDry conditions resulted in most fescue hay fields being cut this week. Spotty showers last weekend gave wide variation in rainfall amounts. \nDISTRICT 3 - NORTHEAST Conditions are extremely dry. \nDISTRICT 4 - WEST CENTRAL Low humidity and hot temperatures have really dried soils quickly. Wheat dries and matures rapidly. \nDry. Some hay finally put down, lot still being fed, and producers beginning to thin numbers due to lack of grazing. Wheat trying to fill out a head but yield will be low. \n \n DISTRICT 5 - CENTRAL Nice to have some soil moisture. Pastures and hayfields beginning to green up nicely. Corn and small grain conditions are also improving slightly. \nWe are still extremely dry. we received 0.3 of an inch of rainfall. The cooler temperatures created a small delay in terms planting. \nDesperate for rain! \nRains helped get farmers out of a critical situation last week. Ranges of 1.3 inches to 2.5 inches were reported. Average for the county was 2.0 inches last week. \nWe need more rain! \nDISTRICT 6 - EAST CENTRAL TSWV is taking the tobacco crop out. Some fields greater than 65%. No recourse on replanting. \nPlanting sunup to sundown while we have moisture. Livestock still being fed due to slow grass growth. \nDISTRICT 7 - SOUTHWEST It rained! \nMore than four inches of rain has ended the serious drought conditions. \nWe received 2.70\" of rainfall. Pecan pre-pollination sprays. Wheat is drying. \nLow humidity and hot weather have dried the soil out quickly. Cotton is having a hard time coming through crust formed by rainfall last week. \nDISTRICT 8 - SOUTH CENTRAL We need rain again. Planting cotton and peanuts. Irrigating tobacco, corn and vegetables. TSWV is showing up in tobacco. We have one field with 65% TSWV damage. \nRain finally fell across the entire county. Cotton and some peanut planting underway. Some spotted wilt showing up in tobacco already. Corn crop off to a slower start, but catching up now. \nRain at the end of last week and the first of this week has really helped pastures and hayfields. Cotton and peanut planting are progressing. \nCrop planting is in full swing. \nNo major problems so far this season. \nDISTRICT 9 - SOUTHEAST Rain has helped tremendously. \nTSWV is kicking the tobacco crop. We are experiencing 30%-40% damage in some tobacco fields. \nDry conditions return to the county. Planting of peanuts and cotton is underway. \nContact Information David S.
