By Pam Knox

Because of the slow forward movement of the storm, parts of the coast were subjected to hours of hurricane-force wind which caused problems for cotton and pecans. Heavy rains caused problems for peanuts and also for cotton. Here are some early comments about damage from Sally to agriculture from Farm Press.
