Wheat Harvest in Full Swing
06/24/2009
Tennessee's wheat harvest was in full
swing last week and over a third of the acreage has been combined. However, this year's harvest pace trails the 5-year average by nearly a week. Over ninety percent of the crop was ripe, setting the stage for rapid harvest progress. A quarter of the state's cotton was squaring by week's end. A limited number of corn acres have entered the silking stage, on pace with last year. Over half of the soybean crop has emerged, but development still lags over two weeks behind the normal pace. Nearly ninety percent of the state's tobacco had been transplanted at a near
normal pace. Pastures were rated in mostly fair-to-good condition.
