Seeding is complete across most of the south. Winter wheat is well along and most other crops have emerged. Some spraying is underway for weed control.
Pea leaf weevil is also reported to be a problem in some pulse crops. Moisture conditions are good and little irrigation has been necessary so far. Hay and pastures are also in good condition. The last two weeks of May and first two weeks of June are typically the wettest four-week period in this region.
