Analysis

Week ending Aug 23 — 5 weeks ago

Vermont sweet corn rated fully good to excellent

USDA rated Vermont's sweet corn crop for the week ending August 23, with all of the crop in good or excellent condition, split 76% good and 24% excellent, unchanged from the prior week. That reading is now several weeks old, the most recent USDA has published for the state. Planting and emergence both finished on pace with the five-year average. Harvest, however, reached only 77% complete as of August 30, well behind last year's 92% at the same point. The next state report should show whether harvest is catching up or staying behind last year's pace.

This is the most recent reading USDA has published for this crop and state; it is not a current-week rating.
