We had a dry August in northeast Mississippi

Readers Rate Crop 'Good To Fair'
     
• "We had a dry August in northeast Mississippi and then excessive rains in September and October. Cotton's prospect is drowning more and more after each rain – 250 pounds this year compared to 1,000 pounds last year."

• "Still a fair crop, but sure could use some sunshine."

• "Cotton growers need to get the leaves off now. The DD60s are just about done."

• "Travel north and south in the Mississippi Delta shows very little cotton picked especially in the north Delta. Quite of bit defoliated in the one week of dry weather, but the heavy rains continue in the Delta."
