AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Weather & Water Stress: India’s late, weak monsoon is already delaying sowing and triggering water restrictions in Mumbai, with reservoirs not expected to refill quickly enough. Drought & Energy Risk: Lake Powell in the Colorado River system is at its lowest summer level ever, with federal projections warning of a drop toward “minimum power pool,” raising the specter of major power and environmental impacts. Crop Progress (Canada): Saskatchewan seeding is 99% complete, but about 3% of acres went unseeded due to excessive moisture, and some forage and pasture areas face yield or carrying-capacity hits. Harvest Disruption (U.S.): Kansas wheat harvest is over halfway and running early, but drought and a late freeze cut yields, while rains still keep some farmers out of fields. Flood Losses (U.S.): South Mississippi watermelon growers are facing heavy losses after weeks of rain and flooding, with fields too wet to harvest and fruit rotting or splitting. Pest Pressure (Philippines): In Negros Occidental, red-striped soft-scale insects have spread beyond sugarcane to corn and vegetables, prompting a province-wide task force. Policy & Inputs (U.S./Iran): Trump says released Iranian assets will be used to buy U.S. crops, including wheat, soybeans and corn, as part of an Iran supplemental request. Pest & Specialty Crops (California): California lawmakers urge USDA emergency funding to fight the glassy-winged sharpshooter, a threat to vineyards via Pierce’s disease. Livestock/Water Quality (Philippines): A massive fish kill at Magat Dam is blamed on oxygen depletion during hot weather, hitting tilapia cage operators with losses ahead of harvest.
