Compared to last week: All classes traded steady with moderate demand.
According to the Crop Progress report 11/25/18, dry, hazy, and stagnant
conditions prevailed for most of early part of the week. By midweek, a series of
upper level troughs brought cooler and wetter conditions to most of the state.
The higher elevations saw a mixture of rain and snow, making for difficult
holiday travel conditions. Some areas reported 6 to 15 inches of snowfall along
the Sierras. By the weekend, a quieter weather pattern in which dry conditions
with some scattered showers over the higher elevations became established.
Temperature highs ranged from upper 50s to mid 60s in the Sierras, low 60s to
low 70s in the mountains, mid 60s to mid 70s in the Central Valley, upper 60s to
upper 70s along the coast, and upper 60s to low 80s in the desert. Temperature
lows ranged from upper single digits to low 30s in the Sierras, low 30s to low
50s along the coast, upper 20s to low 40s in the Central Valley, low 20s to mid
40s in the desert, and mid 20s to upper 30s in the mountains. Beans continued
to be harvested in Sutter County. In Tulare cotton harvest concluded, alfalfa
was cut and baled, and barley was planted. Corn and sorghum were harvested for
silage in Fresno County. Hay is reported FOB the stack or barn unless otherwise
noted. Regions are defined at bottom of report.
