The Ministry has released the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for kharif, rabi and other crops. Here is the list:

 Ministry of Agriculture - Minimum Support Prices

The IMD seems to have at last been galvanised into organising and delivering more data. The Met Dept has suffered from paranoia for years, guarding its numbers like they're state secrets. Two days ago, they began posting district rainfall data organised state-wise. This is useful. The first set of numbers inexplicably leaves out West Bengal, but we hope they'll correct that omission soon.

The Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) has made what sounds to me like a realistic forecast of crop production. Also, the Fourth Advance estimates have just been released (I will post them here as soon as I can). This is the PTI report which quotes CMIE:

Monsoon strengthens, reservoir storage levels are dire

Every week, the Central Water Commission puts out a status alert on the 81 major reservoirs in India. The CWC monitors water storage levels in 81 important/major reservoirs, which together contain 151.77 billion cubic metres (BCM), which is about 72% of total reservoir capacity in the country.
