Many farmers in the region have been negatively affected by the dry conditions that were growing across the Southeast until the recent rainfall. In spite of that, they were hard at work trying to harvest crops. In some cases, the dry weather even helped them accomplish their harvest more quickly. This article from Southeast Ag Network described the conditions for farmers in Alabama and how it has been affecting their harvesting. It’s pretty similar to what I heard from Georgia and other areas of the Southeast when I put together my webinar a couple of weeks ago. It will be interesting to see how the rain in the last week or so has affected the harvesting.
