Sporadic rains across the HRW growing region slowed harvest progress in Texas and stabilized the crop in unharvested areas. In Alabama, 9% of the SRW crop is now harvested. Samples of SRW will begin arriving in the coming weeks; initial grade and crop quality data should be available mid-June. Planting of the HRS and durum crops continues apace. SW in the Pacific Northwest remains in good to excellent condition.
