No big changes to the grains.

Corn 39% harvested vs 36 average

Beans 38% harvested vs 53...........behind because of all the rain earlier this month.


Winter wheat close to average planted and emerged for this date.

Cotton deteriorated slightly. The VP was +2%(mainly from panhandle area freeze/wet weather) but the Excellent was also +2%(also mainly in TX which saw +4% in the excellent category).

The Georgia crop actually improved. 5% came out of the P/VP category and moved up to Fair.  After assessing the damage, apparently it wasn't quite as catastrophic but improving from 54% P/VP to  49% P/VP  is still catastrophic on any scale.
