PA 19380 215-696-2990 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 13.1975—51 Crop Report HARRISBURG -> The quality of hay in Penn sylvania was hurt by the showers that fell in the early part of the week ending September 8, according to the Pennsylvania Crop Reporting Service. Soil moisture was rated as adequate by two-thirds of the counties and excess moisture was reported by the remaining third. In the northern counties one-half reported a surplus of moisture. The quality of hay was rated as fair to poor statewide due to the rain. The second cutting of alfalfa hay is now 92 percent complete, the third cutting 42 percent, and the fourth cutting 23 percent complete. The second cutting of clover timothy hay is 78 percent done. The combining of oats progressed last week and is now virtually complete. Only a small percent remains to be done in the northern counties. Tobacco cutting is now 38 percent complete which is four days ahead of last year. The potato crop is 29 percent dug on par with 1974. Com for grain is four percent mature with another 44 percent dented. Silage harvest was again held up by excess moisture. Pastures continue to supply an average amount of feed. The cool weather and rains have caused pastures to show better color. Producers made some progress last week in seeding winter small grains. Winter wheat is about 22 percent seeded and barley 25 percent done. Both are progressing somewhat earlier than last year but moisture may slow down progress. Peaches are nearly all harvested while pear and apple harvesting is ac celerating. Tomato blight continues to be a problem. Grape harvest is expected to begin two weeks ahead of normal. Sizing and coloring are progressing well but excess moisture has caused splitting in white wine varieties and mildew has been a problem. In the United States as of August 31, winter wheat combining was 95 percent complete, behind last year’s progress. Heavy rains slowed seedbed preparations in the north central states, while growers in the western great plains need moisture before starting to seed their crop. Heavy rain, wind, hail, and flood damaged the corn crop in several states. The added moisture will do little to improve conditions in the previously dry area where much of the crop was too close to maturity. Soil moisture supplies are the best in several weeks in much of the northern soybean producing area.
