AgriLife Extension district reporters compiled the following summary for the Central Texas district: Dry conditions continued. Soil moisture levels were very short. Corn harvest was nearing completion with reduced yields reported. Grain sorghum was a failure. Cotton continued to hang on despite high temperatures and low moisture, and yield potential was looking below average. Concerns were setting in about getting wheat established with limited soil moisture. Pasture conditions were very poor and continued to decline. Cattle body condition scores were beginning to decrease due to poor grazing conditions. Producers were feeding hay and other forage supplements but were culling cattle. Stock tanks/ ponds were a major concern, and many were going dry.
