According to the U.S.<br \/>\nDrought Monitor, Georgia remained free of drought conditions<br \/>\nthroughout the month. Temperatures were above average in several<br \/>\ncounties this month. A wet winter continued in February with excess<br \/>\nrainfall reported throughout each region of the state. Livestock<br \/>\nproducers, field crops, fruit, and vegetable growers all noted<br \/>\nnegative impacts from too much moisture. The wet weather has resulted<br \/>\nin premature fruit blooms in some species, which could result in crop<br \/>\nlosses this spring. Many cattle producers throughout the state were<br \/>\nfeeding hay because of the poor grazing caused by the rain. Several<br \/>\npastures in low lying areas flooded causing feed problems in some<br \/>\nlivestock. Poor hay quality and nutrition also has producers<br \/>\nconcerned about compaction. Growers in central and southern Georgia<br \/>\nreported harvesting cotton, soybeans, and peanuts early in the month.<br \/>\nAs of the end of the month, nearly all harvesting has been completed.<br \/>\nGrowers noted lower grades in cotton and soybeans left to rot in<br \/>\nfields due to the excess rainfall. Some small grains have been side<br \/>\ndressed and had herbicide applications. Vegetable land preparation is<br \/>\nongoing, and planting was reported in the southern part of the state.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6282\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6282\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/03\/Little_bitty_corn_plants.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6282\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/03\/Little_bitty_corn_plants-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/03\/Little_bitty_corn_plants-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/03\/Little_bitty_corn_plants-208x138.jpg 208w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2016\/03\/Little_bitty_corn_plants.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6282\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Valerie Everett, Commons Wikimedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most recent Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin for Georgia was released today, with text below.
