Dry weather has slowed the maturity of the peanut crop, so harvest was just getting started. Normally, the harvest would be about halfway done. The peanut yield was lower than normal, possibly down 30%. The sweet potato crop was also seeing lower yields. Pastures were dry and farmers were feeding hay.
