Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service compiled the following report for the CENTRAL District:
Soil conditions were saturated from repeated rains.
Wheat harvest should be underway but was severely delayed by rain. Wheat plants were starting to lodge in fields.
There were some reports of grain sprouting in heads. Corn was doing very well, but we need dry weather as corn enters the pollination stage.
Producers were concerned about poor grain fill without proper pollination. Cotton was struggling due to wet growing conditions.
Oats needed to be harvested. Hay fields should have been cut a month ago, but conditions continue to be too wet.
Many producers missed their first hay cutting and should be near a second cutting. Livestock were doing well. Cooler and wet weather was in the forecast for the next 10 days.
