Some NYS Areas Receive Heavy Rains, Flooding
New York Ag Connection - 09/25/2018
New York averaged 5.5 days suitable for field work.
Temperatures ranged from 2 to 9 degrees above normal. Weekly precipitation ranged from 0.05 to 5.47. The most recent indications from the U.S. Drought Monitor had Franklin and Hamilton counties in the upper northeastern part of the state classified with
D2 Severe Drought and D0 Abnormally Dry to D1 Moderate Drought conditions for the surrounding counties. Additionally, D0 Abnormally Dry conditions were also indicated for Orleans, Niagara, and Erie counties to the far west. The majority of the rest of
the state was within normal levels and this has been the predominant pattern for the past few weeks.
Some counties in the south central part of the state received heavy rains and flooding with concern for the corn, soybean, and vegetable crops while fall harvest was very active and early in other areas with ideal conditions.
Some counties had reported higher than average yields so far on corn. Soybean harvesting progressed in some areas but at a smaller scale. Winter wheat planting and dry bean harvesting was also underway.
