Richland County Crop/Weather report for week of May 30

Weather-Soil conditions in much of the county remain soggy. Some sever storms brought rain to much of the county last week and more rain came before soils had much of a chance to dry out.

Seeding-Not much progress has been made in areas that have not been seeded yet. While most of the crops are in the ground there are still quite a few acres that have not been planted yet. The hope is that the end of the week will bring drying conditions and producers will be able to complete spring seeding.

Weeds-Weather conditions have not been conducive to weed control either, but unfortunately, have heavily favored weed growth. If it does dry out enough to get into fields, producers are going to take the opportunity to finish seeding and weed control will have to wait until seeding is finished. I would not say that we are at a critical juncture for weed control, but it is fast approaching.
