Six days were suitable for fieldwork during the week ending Sunday,according to the USDA, NASS, Michigan Field Office. Precipitationvaried from 0.02 inches in the west central Lower Peninsula to 0.79inches in the east central Lower Peninsula. Average temperaturesranged from 3 degrees below normal in the southwestern and southcentral Lower Peninsula to 1 degree below normal in the easternUpper Peninsula, and the northwestern and northeastern LowerPeninsula. Temperatures this past week were slightly below normalbut still fairly warm throughout the state. Growers in many areasreported that there is a need for rainfall, while others are sayingthat there is too much moisture. A reporter in the central regionstated, "We still continue to battle too much moisture in someareas, while others are getting dry. There is a huge difference inmoisture levels within a 2-3 mile drive!" Harvest of wheat and hayis great in the drier areas, but difficult in others due tomoisture levels. "Second cutting hay is hard to harvest as we havehad foggy mornings and overcast afternoons. Some wheat is gettingharvested in the area but they have had the same problem withmoisture," a farmer in the southwest reported.
The varied moisture levels have presented a challenge for somefarmers. Corn continued to grow well this past week and wastasseling in many fields. Most were optimistic about yieldpotential. Continue to monitor for pests such as cutworm andarmyworm. Some of the soybeans that were having problems earlierwere improved because of the sun and rains, but some fields stillhave yellow areas. At this stage, the majority of the crop isblooming and some are setting pods. A large amount of winter wheatwas harvested this week and was approaching completion in manyareas, but some were still harvesting as weather and moisturelevels permit. Harvest of alfalfa is progressing. Rains andmoisture slowed harvest in some areas while dry conditions weregreat for harvest in other areas. Dry beans stands were average andsome reported damage due to excess moisture. The sugarbeet croplooked good. Growers were very optimistic about productionpotential. Oat harvest was just beginning in some areas, thoughmany expected to begin this coming week. Barley remained in goodcondition.
