HARVEST BEGINS IN THE DEEP SOUTH

There's been some early black shank in Georgia (above) but so far it has been manageable, in part because of adoption of a three-pronged control strategy. "Our growers have done a good job of finding resistant varieties and then implementing the three-step control program: Orondis and Ridomil in the transplant water, Presidio at first cultivation and Ridomil at layby cultivation,"says J. Michael Moore, Extension tobacco specialist. "It should be followed on any farm that has a history of black shank."

HARVEST BEGINS IN THE DEEP SOUTH

FLUE-CURED

Harvest has begun in Florida and Georgia. "But just by a few farmers," says Moore. "It will get going in earnest starting next week." It appears to be a good crop so far, he says. "We are finishing topping and sucker control now." Plantings in Georgia and Florida appear to have been reduced 30 to 35 percent, says Moore. "We might wind up with acreage in the 8,250 acre range," he says. He doesn't see much interest in growers in planting beyond their contracts. 

South Carolina: Farmers haven't started harvesting. "Normally, we would expect to start by the first week of July but that isn't happening this year," says William Hardee, S.C. area Extension agronomy agent. "The crop is just not
ready. Due to the dry weather, we are a little behind schedule, and in some areas, we have seen some premature    flowering." Scattered thunder storms accom-panied by winds blew down tobacco, mainly in the GreenSea/ Nichols area. "Wounded roots opened the door for serious bacterial wilt infestation," says Hardee.  Note: Plantings are definitely down in South Carolina. Hardee says acreage--which was around 14,000 acres last season--could be as low as 10,000 this year.


North Carolina: Farmers have experienced extreme heat and drought since early May. "But it's been broken by extreme rainfall in short spurts or isolated thunderstorms that build almost out of nowhere," says Matthew C. Vann, N.C. Extension tobacco specialist. "All things considered, we really do have a fine crop with a lot of potential remaining ahead of us."

Rain is in the forecast, and farmers will gladly take it, says Vann. "I'd argue that a good soaking rain that gives us an inch or a little more will finish pushing most of this crop into flowering. 

There have been few widespread issues in N.C. There was some sand blasting and hail early on that resulted in replanting. "Since then, the major issue has been excessive rain, felt hardest in parts of eastern Wake County," Vann says. 


Virginia: In Greensville County, topping will reportedly start soon. First observations of hornworm eggs and larvae feeding on tobacco leaves were made last week.


BURLEY AND DARK

Kentucky: Heavy ongoing rains in June in western Kentucky damaged burley and dark. "One farmer nearby got nine inches of rain in eight days," says Rod Kuegel of Owensboro. "We didn't get quite that much but I expect to have to bush hog sometobacco, which is something we rarely do."  For the area, he thinks there has already been a 20 percent loss.

Tennessee: All but eight percent of the crop had been set by June 30. Four percent had been topped. In Macon County near Nashville, an overa-bundance of rain and storms have halted set-ting and all field work. In Cheatham County, also near Nashville, very little field work could be done last week until Friday or Saturday due to pop-up thunderstorms with heavy rains. In Robertson County, north of Nashville, angular leafspot has appeared in dark fire-cured on several farms.

North Carolina: 91 percent of the burley crop has been planted. Drier weather conditions last week allowed growers to get into fields in Yancey County in the mountains.

  6. First, I want to complement this site administrator for creating this platform I frequently get cold sores(which lasts for 5-6 days on my lips and its painful both physically and mentally) .. As a bodybuilder, I basically get outbreak due to the daily pressure and heat in the body.. Recently I stumbled upon my salvation. I found a herbal remedy to cure hsv completely, in just 4weeks ..

    I got to know about Dr Utu after seeing a lady's testimony online. I reached the doctor and I ordered for herpes herbal medicine. He sent the herbs to me and I started making use of them. In just 2days, the cold sores are cleared. 4weeks after medication, I went to the hospital for test of cold sores and it was completely NEGATIVE.

    By following every prescription, i was able to cure my cold sore in less than 4weeks. 100% natural herbs no after effect.
    Note: Please do let others know if this work for you.
    The doctor's email is drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
    Note : follow all instructions accordingly..

    If you are sure that you have benefited from this African herbs be courageous to inform others.

  7. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

    He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.
