Crop/Weather report for week of July 11

Crops-Crops continue to progress well. This week we accumulated a great number of heat units and the crops continue to grow well. Much of the hay crop has been cut but there is still some that is being taken off.

Weather-Weather this week has shifted back to more normal conditions. Not much natural rainfall fell last week and little to none this week so many of our crops under irrigation are starting to receive water from that source.

Pests-Still not much to report in the area of diseases, insects, and weeds. I have seem some ascochyta on some of our pulse crops and a little bit of fusarium here and there but nothing major. Grasshoppers continue to be an issue that producers have questions about but I haven't personally seen much damage, will be keeping an eye on that.
