GENERAL: There were 3.9 days suitable for field work for the week ending May 5th, compared to 5.4 days for week ending April 28th. Statewide soil moisture levels were rated at 2% short, 65% adequate and 33% surplus. Average temperatures for the week were below normal with widespread rainfall across the state. Heavy rainfall caused crop damage in a few western counties while strawberry harvest began in other parts of the state. Cool, damp weather increased the potential for disease and insect damage to crops. However pastures and crops currently remain in good condition.
We sustained flooding conditions in Burke, Caldwell and McDowell Counties May 5th with more rain forecasted. We have reports of crop and field damage as well as damage to nurseries and sod farms.
Kim Rumfelt – Burke, Caldwell, McDowell Co. FSA
Heavy rainfall over the weekend caused many low lying areas to flood. Rainfall will limit further vegetable crops planting preparations and corn planting.
Jan McGuinn -- Rutherford County Extension
Cool temperatures slowed the tobacco transplanting as well as the ripening of strawberries. Strawberry production just opened up for pick your own operations. Strawberries are three weeks behind because of the cold March. Cool temperatures and rain expected this week will slow field work. Hay tonnage is expected to be low because of thin and short stands.
Joey Knight -- Caswell County Extension
Unseasonably cool temperatures significantly delayed cotton and peanut planting. Corn and tobacco are growing off slowly. Cool, damp conditions increased the potential for powdery mildew and head scab in wheat.
Richard W. Rhodes – Bertie County Extension
Recent rains delayed corn planting and other tasks such as pesticide applications on wheat. Also windy conditions are affecting pesticide applications. Wheat crop looks very good and corn would as well if we could get warm, sunny weather.
Al Wood – Pasquotank County Extension
Cooler weather seems to be slowing growth of tobacco and corn plants in fields. Tobacco growers are seeing slight to moderate Spartan injury. Powdery mildew is showing up more in wheat fields. Stripe Rust was found in the county in a wheat field last week (5/2).
Roy Thagard – Greene County Extension
Rain this week delayed final corn planting. The rain did not deter tobacco transplanting. Cool temperatures delayed cotton planting. Strawberry harvest has begun.
Cathy Herring – Central Crops Research Station
Cool wet weather continues. Parts of Robeson received around 2" of rain. Nematodes damage is starting to show up with corn growing off slowly. Wet conditions delayed field prep for planting of other crops.
Mac Malloy – Robeson County Extension
