State cooperative extension workers say that
freezing weather may bring some hope to soybean and cotton farmers.
They say that after a season of excessive rain kept them from
harvesting much of their crops a good freeze could harden the
ground enough to let farmers harvest the remaining plants
Cooperative Extension workers also say that the freeze won`t
damage soybeans and could help stop the spread of Asian Soybean
Rust, a wind born fungus. They also say the frost wouldn`t hurt
cotton and let farmers get out in the fields to harvest that crop.
