General Situation:
Widely scattered and spotty thunderstorms, some with hail, brought relief to a few and destruction to others. There is considerable acreage in dryland which will not be harvested. Most producers are giving fields the final watering. Open cotton bolls, while scattered, can be found in most fields, the exception being later planted, well watered cotton. Insect pressure remains absent at present.

In peanuts, spider mites and lesser corn stalk borers are showing up in area fields, some at economic levels. These pests are more prevalent where water is limited ("hot spots in a field").
