No wheat report this week - too cold.

Frigid weather continues to blanket much of the South's wheat crop, and that has stalled out field work, crop growth and the chance for much to happen in the way of pests or disease pressure. So, we won't be sending our wheat report, AgFax: Southern Wheat, this week. Not much to write about.

How cold has it been?

Temperatures dropped into the high teens as far south as Interstate 20 earlier this week. Little Rock, Ark., had a dusting of snow in the last 24 hours.

In Kentucky, the first 12 days of February have been the second coldest for that period in the last 112 years, according to an advisory from the Univeristy of Kentucky.

We'll be back next week with the wheat report, provided it warms up.
