Crop Roundup
All areas of the Slate re
ceived very little rain during
the past week according to
the Pennsylvania Crop Report
ing Service. However, mois
ture has been adequate to keep
most crops in fair condition.
The small grains are yielding
well as the harvesting of
wheat and oats continues. Corn
is growing very well in most
areas of the State. Hay and
pastures are showing the ef
fects of the limited moisture
and are producing little feed.
Major farm activities for the
week were combining wheat
and oats, baling straw, making
hay, digging some early po
tatoes, and picking early ap
ples, peaches and sweet corn.
