Compared to last week: All classes traded steady with moderate demand.
According to the NASS crop progress report July 30, 2017, the weather last week
was hot and dry across the State. The summer monsoon across the southwest desert
helped trigger some showers across the deserts last week, while additional
pockets of moisture found their way into the Sierras and managed to produce a
few scattered showers throughout the week. Rainfall was limited to Monday
through Thursday across the interior deserts and parts of the central and
northern Sierras. A few monsoon showers and thunderstorms dropped up to half an
inch of rain in places across the desert, with most areas receiving around a
tenth of an inch. A stray thunderstorm near Alturas in the northeastern corner
of the State dropped nearly half an inch of rain. Snow cover continued to
dissipate across the State; however, some areas of the Lassen Volcanic National
Park still had nearly ten feet of snow in some areas. Temperature highs were in
the 60s to 80s along the coast, 70s to 90s in the mountains, 90s to 100s, in the
valley, and 90s to 110s in the desert. Temperature lows were in the 30s to 50s
in the mountains, 50s to 60s along the coast, 60s to 70s in the valley, and 60s
to 80s in the desert. Wheat was harvested for grain and shaft baled for straw.
Alfalfa fields were being irrigated, cut, and baled. Corn and sorghum for silage
were cultivated and irrigated. The corn silage crop was in various stages of
development, from already tasseling to developing ears. All hay is reported FOB
the stack or barn unless otherwise noted. Regions are defined at bottom of
report.
