Effects on Agriculture The Delta will have a rain free day with scattered light a i likely moving into the Delta tonight and Saturday. Necessary spraying or haying activities should be completed today before the rains move eastward. Cotton and soybeans often pose a problem during this time of the year, due to their differing moisture requirements. Soybeans could use a good rain.

In fact, a good rain now could increase the state yield substantially. However, cotton has almost passed the time when a rain would improve the crop significantly and the regrowth problems in cotton are more a detriment than a help. So the expected shower coverage over the weekend may be greeted with mixed emotions. As of the moment rainfall amounts an 1 expected to be rather light.
