Alabama Crop Progress & Condition Report for Aug. 19...USDA reports crops remain in good condition but sunshine is needed throughout the state. Rainy weather, coupled with cloudy days and lower than normal temperatures are preventing farmers from proceeding with field work, including spraying crops to combat disease on plants. Especially impacted are peanuts and cotton while corn and soybeans are doing well. Alabama remains drought free for the third week in a row. A year ago, 49% of the state was without drought.
