harvest was in full swing. Alfalfa was being cut and baled on an ongoing basis. 
Late black-eyed pea plantings were being harvested. Fields were being tilled and 
pre-irrigated for winter forage and grain crops. In the valley, early fall-
planted small grains continued to be planted and were emerging well. Safflower, 
corn, and late sorghum harvesting continued. In Sutter County, corn harvest was 
progressing well. Rice harvest neared completion.  Hay is reported FOB the stack
