With pesach behind us we are enjoying a few months free from Chodosh 
concerns. The planting of next season's Chodosh crops is now under way. 
We were hoping that since pesach was so late on the solar calendar, 
perhaps a majority of the relevant crops would be planted before pesach, 
making them Yoshon. This hope did not materialize. Indeed, according to 
the U. S. Dep't of Agriculture weekly crop bulletins, about 3 days 
before pesach only 5% of the spring wheat, 11% of the barley and 39% of 
the oats were planted in the USA. This assures that the majority of 
these crops will be Chodosh next season, as usual.

We expect that the Chodosh problems will start again when the harvests 
begin. This would be for oats at the end of July, for wheat, early 
August and for barley late August. We hope BS"D to issue updates as 
these dates approach and we monitor the harvest progress.

Meanwhile, may we be zocha for a renewed kabolas Torah and have a 
pleasant summer.

Yoseph Herman
