The soybean crop has also advancing with 70 percent of the crop still in good to excellent condition with 97 percent of the crop setting pods and 10 percent dropping leaves

In other crops around the state, tomato harvest continues and 13 percent of the tobacco crop is harvested.  Fifty-seven percent of ranges and pastures are in good to excellent condition, but the rainy weather has slowed hay cutting as fields remain damp.
