Weekly Crop Report April 29, 2023 – It looks like a good start but it is very early in season so too early to draw conclusions.

Updated at 3:52 a.m. EDT Sunday, April 30, 2023 to add the March Agriculture Cost and Price Report

This is the April 25, 2023, USFA Crop Bulletin which covers the Period April 16 – 22  for some information and April 17 – 23 for other information. The report becomes available on Tuesdays but I plan to present it on Saturdays as it will be featured all day on Saturday. I may later decide to publish this report on Tuesday nights.  I might add additional information. For those who need the information as soon as possible, the links to the information are provided at the end of the article.

It is early in the season so we are just beginning to have information on most crops. Moisture is not the issue but some areas have to get a bit warmer.

We start with the National Agriculture Summary.

Below is pretty much the same information in table format. However, there is additional information in these tables.

It is early but corn is ahead, the others are too soon to tell.

It is early but wheat seems to be ahead,  rice is way ahead,  oats is even and spring wheat is slow.

It is early but Barley seems to be a bit slow

Weather Conditions

The minimum temperatures and the cold anomalies are what is of interest this time of the year.

Some additional information

 

The Northern Tier needs to warm up a bit.
