Rain Stunts Crop:Plants are not developing properly in waterlogged soils

摘要

Two consecutive weeks of rainfall in Georgia stunted the growth of the state's peanut crop and has left farmers scrambling to decide what to do next. Georgia's peanut and cotton acreage remains in flux due to the inclement weather. According to the Georgia Crop Progress and Condition Report, issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service, 73 percent of this year's peanut crop has been planted. Some of the crop will likely need to be replanted because of saturated field conditions.
