# The Rice Advocate, Vol. 17, Issue 22

> The Rice Advocate reports that the US Southern planting season is nearly finished, with Arkansas at 90% and Missouri at 83% planted, both trailing the five-year average. Arkansas emergence was 81%, with 64% of the crop in good or excellent condition. Old-crop paddy is tight in every state, and a tropical storm was forming in the Gulf.

## Why it matters

Delayed planting and tight old-crop supplies support rice prices, and a Gulf storm adds weather risk to the crop. Buyers should expect firm rice pricing.
