ATHENS, Ga. — According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service in Georgia, there were 5.7 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Sunday, November 7, 2021. Precipitation ranged from no rain to 3.9 inches. Average high temperatures ranged from the mid 50s to the high 60s. Average low temperatures ranged from the high 30s to the low 50s.
Crops
Ideal harvest conditions remained throughout the beginning of the week, although scattered showers and cooler temperatures arrived later. Some areas had their first frost occur as low temperatures at night began to dip into the 30s. Cotton bolls mostly finished opening and cotton harvest was starting to pick up. Cotton quality was noted to have been negatively affected by wet conditions throughout the fall, resulting in subpar yields for some producers. Most peanut fields had been dug as harvest continued to wrap up. Soybeans dropping leaves neared completion and steady progress was made harvesting.
Livestock and Pastures
Livestock remained in generally good condition throughout the state. Producers began to feed protein supplements to their herds and were stocking up on baled forages. Pasture conditions were fair, but conditions are continuing to decline as temperatures are dropping.
