I am in a sugarcane area so everything was planted last fall. We had good average rain last month (6") so the plants got off to a very good start. This month we are about 50% low on rain but that did not really hurt. In fact it helped a lot of guys out. They were able to get into the fields and cultivate it and put down the herbicide. Most fields are at the point were everything is done because the plants are so big now they bend over as the cultivator bar passes over. The row centers are starting to disappear and shading will now control weeds.
Sugar is looking good this year and if we can get by with no hurricanes they should have a good crop.

As a side note......... With all the snow I heard about and now the rain you are having you would think the Mississippi river would be high. Not the case. We are at 11' now but can go to 20' before we have problems. Just goes to show that while up north you may be having record water there is a lot of areas in the middle and south with not so much.
