fields have been harvested and were being fertilized and tilled.  In 
other areas, winter small grains including wheat were being harvested for 
silage as well as cut, dried, and baled.  Fields were being fertilized, 
cultivated for weeds, and tilled for corn and sorghum.  The rice crop was 
progressing at a good pace in the Sacramento Valley.  Hay is reported FOB
