Midsouth rice planting will likely wind down over the weekend or early next week. If forecasts hold, tropical storm Cristobal will deliver enough rain early next week to push any additional planting even later into June. Early next week, growers also will hit the cutoff date for the late prevented planting option. Combined, those two factors will probably put a cap on further planting.
