Nebraska Weekly Crop Update
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Some Nebraska farmers will have to replant
after storms brought tornadoes and hail - but also some much needed
rain
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says in Tuesday's report that
weather continued to affect crops in most locations with hot, dry
and windy conditions, while storms in central and northeast
Nebraska damaged some corn and soybean fields.
The report shows most of the corn has emerged, and 79 percent of
the crop is good or excellent conditions. Soybean planting is 93
percent complete. The average is 77 percent.
Last week's heaviest rain fell in the central and northeast
regions, which saw over 2 inches in isolated areas. Even with the
rain, 52 percent of the topsoil and 54 percent of the subsoil is
very short or short.
