When USDA’s initial weekly crop condition ratings of the spring are plugged into the weighted Pro Farmer Crop Condition Index (0 to 500-point scale, with 500 being perfect), the HRW crop improved 22.0 points from last fall to 345.4. That was 88.4 points above last year’s drought-hit crop. The SRW crop slipped 0.1 point to 371.5, though that was 7.7 points above last year on this date.
