Wheat and oats continued to be harvested. Silage crops were being cut. Safflower 
progressed well and sorghum was planted in Kings County. Cutting of alfalfa 
continued. In the Sacramento Valley, winter wheat harvest continued and rice 
continued to progress well. Safflower started to bloom and sunflower continued 
to be planted.Hay is reported FOB the stack or barn unless otherwise noted.
