Agrilife Crop and Weather Report

The district experienced drier conditions, and rainfall was reported in some areas. Wheat harvest was delayed by rain but fared well with no rust reported. Cotton planting was almost complete, but some areas needed replanting due to the heavy rains. Cattle grazed well on pastures that received ample rainfall, but flies and grasshoppers were becoming a problem. Producers in some areas were cutting and baling Coastal Bermuda grass pastures with above-average yields, and sorghum and corn fields were improving as they dried out.
