Weather- The week started off fairly dry with temps in the high 80's to low 90's and some fairly humid conditions. Thursday brought storms and varying amounts of precipitation throughout the county. The rest of the week and into next week it looks like we will return to high 80's, low 90's and slight chances of rain.
Crops- Crops around the county, for the most part, continue to look good. There has been some barley harvested and reports sound good. I hesitate to put yield and quality figures on here because there is so little harvested and any information I get is all second-hand.
Pests- I have received a few calls regarding grasshoppers this week. The issue now is size of the grasshoppers. As they get bigger, they are harder to control. The USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has a great grasshopper website which can be found here.
