Summary
The 2019 HRW harvest is progressing across South Texas and the Southern Blacklands. This year’s SRW harvest is just beginning in the South as the weather has been unseasonably hot, dry weather. The Midwest continues to experience heavy rains. A cool, wet spring has SW, HRS, and northern durum crop emergence behind the 5-year averages.
