The storm on Sunday brought us a few cooler mornings early this week. It also whipped and sandblasted some plants but from what I’ve seen there wasn’t any major damage and they should grow out of it. Be mindful of your disease sprays because anytime a plant gets damaged the wound is an open portal for various disease. Corn is looking good. Some cotton and peanuts have been planted and I’m sure that will increase in the next few weeks. For the cotton going in early, be mindful of seedling vigor. The higher yielding varieties normally have a lower seedling vigor. If you want to go a little earlier and are planting a smaller seed, start with the lot that has the less number of seed per pound. Cull cow prices are starting to rise out of the winter lull and feeder calves are beginning to see a slight rise. The blizzards and floods in the midwest have kept the grazing yards in check but the demand for feeder calves is where the price bump has emerged. I will start posting a link every week to the National Agricultural Statistic Service (NASS) Georgia Crop Report. It is a good resource for crop progress, crop conditions, and weather for the current week. It is a broad outlook for Georgia but it is insightful.
