由于干旱和灌溉有限,密西西比2025年的甜土豆产量下降了20-30%,尽管病虫害水平正常。 Mississippi's 2025 sweet potato yield is down 20-30% due to drought and limited irrigation, despite normal pest levels.

密西西比2025年的甜薯作物预计会低于平均水平, Mississippi’s 2025 sweet potato crop is expected to be below average due to prolonged drought, with many areas receiving less than half their usual rainfall since late June. 到10月中旬,收获完成70%,但根面积较小导致产量比去年下降20%至30%,尽管病虫害水平正常。 Harvest was 70% complete by mid-October, but smaller root sizes led to a 20% to 30% yield drop compared to last year, despite normal pest and disease levels. 在32 000英亩的作物中,只有10%至15%得到灌溉,春季雨中推迟种植使问题更加复杂。 Only 10% to 15% of the 32,000-acre crop is irrigated, and delayed planting from spring rains compounded the issue. 收获比原计划晚了大约 10 天，最初由于北卡罗来纳州农作物歉收而价格强劲，但随着密西西比州收成的开始，价格有所下降。 Harvest is about 10 days behind schedule, and prices, initially strong due to a North Carolina crop failure, have since declined as Mississippi’s harvest began. 预计1月将获得美国农业部最终产量数据。 Final USDA yield data is expected in January.
