Some Sweet Corn Planting Begins in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Ag Connection - 04/24/2018
Pennsylvania had a poor week for field activities with an average of 2.5 days suitable for field work. Temperatures were reported with a high of 84F, a low of 18F and a state average temperature of 40F.
Another unseasonably cold week slowly conceded to a warm and sunny weekend but not before a continuation of cold rains and light snow hampered crop growth and field work.
Apple progress remains mostly stagnant as a result of the cold but is expected to make rapid progress once warmer weather arrives.
Peaches demonstrated such a burst as can be seen in the progress made since last week in the "Green Tip" and "Pink" stages.
Previously seeded grasses for hay and pasture have begun showing signs of growth.
The onset of warmer weather towards the end of the week did provide opportunity for fieldwork activity which included continued spraying, manure spreading and the start of some sweet corn plantings.
