摘要

At the writing of this article on September 15,2007, many growers throughout the industry are struggling to complete their plantings. Reports from the industry range from having 10 acres left (for the last three weeks) to those growers who report theyare only 30% complete. Many of the remaining fields to be planted are on the heavy side (clay soils) which will need a week of good drying conditions before they can be planted. All but one mill are tentatively scheduled to open within the next 10 days.Unfortunately, due to the lack of equipment and labor, most growers are unable to plant significant acreage and deliver their daily quotas.
