Richland County Crop/Weather report for week of June 6

Weather-Spotty showers continue to be the norm for this week. Several fields in the valley have areas of ponding water. It could be an interesting year for crop diseases if these conditions continue.

Crops- I feel that I can safely now say that, for all intents and purposes, we have finished seeding in the county. I am sure that there are still a few acres here and there that are unfinished but not too many.

Pests- Weeds and weed control continue to be our most significant pest problem. Unfortunately, the issues lately have been that when it is not raining, it is too windy to spray. With that being said, I have noticed more fields getting sprayed now that seeding is wrapping up. The tell-tale signs of Wild mustard can be seen in many fields throughout the county as it is blooming now.
