Louisiana Field Reports: “Banged Up by Barry”
“Banged up by Barry” summarizes last week. All commodity and crop areas suffered from the effects of Hurricane Barry. It was the worst case scenario for the rice crop with many acres blown down while reaching maturity. Worse were many acres with emerging panicles that were nowhere close to maturity that went down. Corn reaching maturity was down while sugarcane will be twisted and affected but should bounce back.”
