Cool, wet weather over much of the State last week proved a stumbling block to numerous Tennessee producers. The rains kept many out of the field, delaying cotton and soybean planting, while cool weather slowed crop development. Conversely, other parts of the State dealt with dry conditions which caused corn twisting, slowed wheat bean emergence, and affected hay quality. There were 4.4 days suitable for field work. Topsoil moisture was 7 percent very short, 13 percent short, 65 percent adequate and 15 percent surplus. The Tennessee Crop Progress report can be read at TN_05_31_16.
