Weather Patterns Impact Agriculture in Texas and California
What happened
Tropical Storm Arthur is bringing heavy rain and potential flooding to coastal Texas. In Texas, farmers report that the current rains are beneficial, though minimal rain is expected across most of the state. Meanwhile, in California, production in the Coachella Valley was delayed by about a week and impacted by standing water and fields buried with sand following Tropical Storm Rachel earlier this month. Markets are expected to be elevated due to lighter overall supplies.
