Overview

Excerpt from North Carolina Farm Report, Vol. 573: January 8, 1971 Dry and mild weather before mid December highly favored winding up the 1970 crop harvest. December tempera tures averaged above normal from the Southwest to the Middle Atlantic States and were near normal in California. Cold conditions, generally 2 to 6 de grees below normal, extended from the Pacific Northwest eastward into New England. Precipitation was well below normal over much of the country during December. The brunt of the dry condi tions occurred in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and New Mexico where there was little or no rainfall. Snow and light rain in this area in early January should supply some badly needed mois ture, but the extremely cold weather after the rain and snow is causing many problems. Moisture in December was slightly above normal in the North west and Northeast sections of the Nation. Corn picking was still active as December started but good conditions allowed growers to have the bulk of the crop in by mid-month. Wet conditions delayed the windup of cotton picking in California and Arizona, but the dry weather helped Texas growers to finish early. Starting the New Year some scattered corn, cotton, and soybean fields were still left for harvest, but in most states harvest was virtually complete. Livestock were in generally good condition. The mild December weather favored extra grazing of pastures and fall crop residues. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
