Crop Progress and Condition for the Week Ending April 15, 2018.
County Comments
Willie Durr, Houston County
Fieldwork continues in the Wiregrass in preparation for planting cotton and peanuts. Very little corn is left to be planted.
Henry Dorough, Talladega County
Cool temperatures and damp soil have slowed burndown activity and delayed planting dates for corn. Warm season pastures are slow to green up due to late frosts several weeks ago and continued cool temperatures.
Carol Nicholson, Bullock County
Crops continue to look good at this time. Grass for hay and grazing are above normal at this time.
Allie Corcoran, Barbour County
Burndown and corn planting continues. Rain moved through this weekend giving much needed moisture to fields.
William Birdsong, Coffee County
Planting of cotton and peanuts will begin with a fury right after the rain event this weekend when soil conditions allow.
