Fields remain waterlogged after a solid week of rain and thunderstorms.
However, according to this week’s NASS Crop Progress Report, Mississippi is actually dead even with the 5 year average for cotton planting, and only slightly behind on soybean and rice planting.
At this point it looks unlikely that much progress will be made this week.

After many months of weighing our different options, MACA has decided to completely change gears with our website.
Although we have not completed the work (by a long stretch), we decided to go ahead and put the new site online and complete the process with it live.
Hopefully in the coming days & weeks, you will continually see changes and updates occuring. Let us know what you like / don’t like, and what you would like to see in the future. Comment on the posts, be a part of this website!

John Kimbrough III
On Wednesday, March 11, 2009, John Marmaduke “Kim” Kimbrough, III passed away at his home in Lexington, Mississippi.
As a good friend and long standing active member of MACA, he will be greatly missed.
By all who knew him he was an innovator, the first to try something new, always at the cutting edge of technology; sometimes known as the ‘bleeding’ edge to the early adopters.
Kim possessed a personality that caused anyone meeting him for the first time to remember him, and he was respected by all who had the pleasure to know him well.
MACA has a gap that will not likely be filled by someone as well-read and well-rounded, or by someone with the broad life experience of Kim Kimbrough.
