Caswell County, NC

Start Date: 6/22/2014 - End Date: 6/22/2014
Supplemental report - had the opportunity to ride through a good portion of Caswell, Rockingham, and Guilford counties in North Carolina. The crops look terrible. In corn fields about a third never germinated and what did come up is stunted. Tobacco plants are not much larger than transplants. Only saw one tobacco field that looked anywhere near acceptable. Very dry. We saw quite a bit of irrigation in progress. CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Milton 5.7 SSE on 6/22/2014
