    The crop outlook in the county is pretty fair, but could be better according to several farmers. The western side of the county crops look good, but in the eastern side it seems there has been more rain and therefore the crops are looking a little off, the farmers not being able to get into their fields to work them. But there will be a good crop made all over the county as plenty of time remains in which to work it and let it grow off. There is plenty of grass growing, but these warm days its being killed by the acre.
