Whether it was dry or wet depended on where you were in the Volunteer State during the week ending June 28, according to NASS.

Hay harvesting throughout the state continued as the weather permitted. The first cuttings were at 92 percent, just under the five-year average of 95 percent. Farmers were able to get in 5.5 days of suitable fieldwork.

In some areas crops showed signs of stress because of a lack of moisture. Soybeans, pastures and cotton, which received an adequate number of heat units during the week, were rated in fair-to-good condition. Corn and winter wheat (of which 83 percent was harvested) were rated in good-to-excellent condition.

"All crops progressing well. Getting somewhat dry in some areas; scattered, intermittent showers are helping in some instances. Beginning to see pivot irrigation rigs being put to use," said Tim Campbell, Dyer County extension agent.

Topsoil moisture levels in the state were 5 percent very short, 22 percent short, 64 percent adequate and 9 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture was 3 percent very short, 19 percent short, 67 percent adequate and 11 percent surplus, according to NASS.
