Weekly Crop Report May 7, 2023 – It looks like a good start but it is very early in season so too early to draw conclusions.
This article is based primarily on the May 2, 2023, USDA Crop Bulletin which covers the April 24 – 30 period of time. The USDA report becomes available on Tuesdays but I plan to publish my article on Saturdays as it will be featured all day on Saturday. I may later decide to publish this report on Tuesday nights. This week I was one day late because I was busy publishing the Colorado Basin report (which you can access HERE) so I apologize. 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 major issue but some areas have to get a bit warmer.
