Cary, N.C. and Eastman, Ga. � A gamut of weather conditions in the Southeast � from drought to extreme rain � may significantly impact the quality and supply of the hay crop in coming months.
�Weather across the state of Florida has been inconsistent,� said Reyna Speckmann, an assistant Extension scientist at the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. �The state is below average for annual rainfall, which may limit yield and quality in some operations.�
Alabama is experiencing more rain, recently coming out of a drought. �Rainfall has been hit or miss throughout Alabama,� said Dr. Don Ball, Extension forage specialist at Auburn University, Ala. �Southeast Alabama has been quite dry, but if you look at the big picture, the state has received more rain than in recent years.�
According to recent figures released by the Climate Prediction Center, the Southeast region will receive above average rainfall throughout October. Southeastern beef producers concerned about developing El Ni�o conditions, and the potential effect on hay production, do have alternatives, notes Albert Glass, president of AgPro Industries LLC, Eastman, Ga.
