NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL SUMMARY September 9 - 15, 1996 HIGHLIGHTS: Temperatures averaged 3 to 6 degrees above normal in the Northwest and Northeast, and normal to 6 degrees below normal elsewhere. In the Midwest, warmer weather is needed to speed the maturity of late-planted crops. On September 14, light, scattered frost occurred in low-lying areas of eastern North Dakota, Minnesota, and northern Iowa. Damage is unknown at this time. Early in the week, remnants of Hurricane Fran brought rain across the Great Lakes and the Northeast, which brought relief to crops on dry soils. By midweek, a cold front brought rain to the Middle Atlantic and Southeastern States, which delayed harvest and planting activities. Rains, preceding Hurricane Fausto, also fell across the Southwest at midweek, causing planting and harvesting delays, as well as some problems for the cotton crop. At the end of the period, the remnants of Hurricane Fausto brought more rains to the Southwest and South. Heavy rains also fell over the Northeast as another cold front moved across the region. A Pacific storm brought rains to the Northwest at week's end. The winter wheat crop in the 19 major producing States was 15 percent (%) planted, up 8 percentage points from the previous week but 3 points behind the 5-year average. Good planting progress was made in Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington. In Nebraska, producers were concerned about grasshopper populations in some newly seeded fields. In Texas, planting continued as conditions allowed. Some greenbug and armyworm problems occurred in emerged fields. Recent rains should improve planting prospects. However, cool weather has slowed emergence. Spring wheat harvested for the five major producing States was 91% complete, up 8 points from last week and 12 points ahead of the average. Spring wheat harvest activity was ahead of the average in all five states, with Montana and North Dakota 23 and 11 points ahead, respectively. Corn remained in mostly good to fair condition, with 96% of the crop completing the dough stage for the 17 major producing States, up 8 points from the previous week, and 1 point ahead of the average. Corn denting, at 73% complete, was up 21 points from the previous week but 8 points behind the average, while corn mature, at 20% complete, lagged the average by 17 points. Corn harvested at 4%, was 3 points behind the average. Corn denting progress lagged the average by at least 10 points in the eastern Corn Belt and the upper Great Lakes region. In Ohio, denting progress was 45 points behind the average. Corn maturity in the Corn Belt, averaged 18 points behind the 5-year average. Corn harvest was at or behind the average in all States except Missouri, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Some minor, light, scattered frost was reported in mostly low-lying areas of Minnesota, northern Iowa, and parts of North Dakota. Cotton bolls opening was 61% complete, up 9 points from last week and 7 points ahead of the average. Cotton condition improved slightly from the previous week but remained mostly good to fair for the 14 major producing States. Boll rot was a problem in some late-planted fields in Mississippi. In Texas, cool conditions slowed crop maturity in the plains. Rainfall slowed harvest and caused some quality problems in south-central and possibly in the upper coast of Texas. Rice harvested for the five major producing States was 52% complete, up 19 points from the previous week and 11 points ahead of normal. Rice condition remained mostly good to excellent. Favorable conditions allowed the harvest to advance rapidly in Arkansas and Mississippi. High winds caused some lodging in rice fields in Arkansas. In California, producers delayed harvest as they waited for the crop to dry down more. Sorghum condition for the 12 major producing States remained mostly good to fair with sorghum turning color at 85% complete, up 16 points from the previous week, and 9 points ahead of the average. The acreage of sorghum mature at 36% was 8 points ahead of last week but 2 points behind normal. Acreage harvested, at 23% was 2 points behind average. Kansas reported serious corn earworm problems in some southwestern fields. Wet fields delayed harvest in north-central Texas. Cool conditions delayed crop maturity in parts of Texas. In Nebraska, sorghum maturity, at 2%, was 22 points behind the average. Soybeans condition remained mostly good to fair with soybeans dropping leaves 17% complete, up 9 points from last week, but 12 points below the average. Dropping leaves progress from Nebraska to Ohio was 25 point behind average. In Illinois, light, scattered rains provided the crop with some moisture for pod filling, but warmer weather was needed to promote crop development.

HIGHLIGHTS: A strong, late-week cold front flushed out tropical moisture left across the East in the wake of Hurricane Fran. Before the front's arrival, additional heavy rain in the Middle Atlantic States aggravated recovery efforts in the wake of severe flooding. The front's passage heralded the arrival of very cool air across the Midwest. Frost dotted the upper Midwest at week's end, but likely caused only minor damage to immature corn and soybeans. On Friday, eastern Pacific Hurricane Fausto made landfall in northwestern Mexico, contributing tropical moisture to a storm system moving across the Southwest. As a result, heavy rain overspread the Four Corners States and the southern Plains, further reducing long-term moisture deficits. Elsewhere, Hurricane Hortense crossed southwestern Puerto Rico on Monday night, producing strong winds and as much as 23 inches of rain. On Sunday, hot weather continued in Florida, where Ft. Myers notched a daily-record high of 96 degrees F. Farther north, a weak cold front edged the remnant circulation of Hurricane Fran eastward across southeastern Canada, but sparked additional heavy rain from Michigan to Maine, southward to the Carolinas. Rain returned toward week's end in conjunction with the stronger front, boosting weekly totals to more than 3 inches in locations such as Alpena, MI, Augusta, ME, and Richmond, VA. On September 13, a daily-record total of 2.78 inches pelted Williamsport, PA. In Wilmington, NC, rain fell on 5 days during the week, totaling 5.12 inches, hampering Hurricane Fran recovery efforts. On September 9-10, Hurricane Hortense, packing eye-wall winds of 80 mph, lashed Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Peak gusts reached 62 mph in San Juan, PR and 52 mph on St. Croix, VI (Alexander Hamilton Airport). In a 30-hour period, about a foot of rain soaked St. Croix, while 20 inches or more inundated such Puerto Rican locations as San Lorenzo, Juncos, and Naguabo. Extensive flooding affected areas east of a line from Arecibo to Penuelas. Warm air covered the Interior Northwest during the week, producing departures of +3 to +9 degrees F. On Tuesday in Wyoming, daily-record highs occurred in Lander (87 degrees F) and Rawlins (89 degrees F). Much cooler weather and rain overspread the Pacific Northwest at week's end. On Saturday, several Oregon locations noted a daily-record rainfall, including Portland (2.03 inches) and Eugene (1.27 inches). An active monsoon pattern developed across the Southwest at midweek. Even before the arrival of Fausto's remnant moisture, totals included 2.01 inches in Carlsbad, NM and 0.99 inches in Douglas, AZ. Rainfall became more widespread and intense at week's end. During the 24 hours ending at 6 a.m. MDT on September 15, totals reached 3.08 inches in Abilene, TX, 2.09 inches in Ponca City, OK, and 1.79 inches in Del Rio, TX. In Albuquerque, NM, 0.65 inches fell, while the maximum climbed only to 63 degrees F. Frost first appeared at midweek in northwestern North Dakota, where the low dipped to 32 degrees F in Williston. On Saturday morning, daily records were set at a handful of sites, including St. Cloud, MN (31 degrees F), Webster City, IA (34 degrees F), and Springfield, IL (37 degrees F). Farther east, clouds and showers helped to hold Saturday's highs in Michigan to 54 degrees F at both Grand Rapids and Lansing.
