1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 85 percent adequate and 7 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture was rated 3 percent very short, 11 percent short, 81 percent adequate, and 5 percent surplus. Days suitable for fieldwork averaged 4.5 out of a possible seven.
Primary activities this week included harvesting tobacco, hay, corn, and soybeans.
Recent rainfall delayed fieldwork at times, but helped in germinating fall grass seedings and reviving pastures. Farmers continue to monitor grain moisture content in harvesting corn.
Livestock producers are preparing for fall breeding and vaccinating cattle.
