The recent dry conditions have caused a lot of problems for forage and pasture, and have delayed the planting of some final cotton and peanut fields, although those conditions are finally easing.

Vegetable and Specialty Crops News posted a story featuring UGA professor Tim Coolong on the benefits of the drier conditions at https://vscnews.com/vegetable-producers-coolong-georgia-dry/.
