When USDA’s weekly crop condition ratings are plugged into the weighted Pro Farmer Crop Condition Index (0 to 500-point scale, with 500 being perfect), the HRW crop dropped another 5.8 points to a historically low 237.0. Kansas led the decline, falling nearly 3.6 points during the week. Only the Texas and Montana crops showed modest improvement over the past week. The SRW crop rose 1.7 points to 375.9, which was an above-average rating for the first week of May.
