Crop Report

The following report was prepared for the Central Texas region:

Conditions were good. Dry conditions prevailed with unseasonably hot temperatures, resulting in some topsoil moisture deficits again.

Pastures were still green with warm-season grasses and some winter grasses were beginning to emerge.

Hay producers were making last cuttings and baling. Field preparations continued in advance of winter wheat planting.

Some winter wheat plantings may be delayed into late October due to recent dryness. Grain harvest was almost complete, and cotton harvest was starting to wrap up. Livestock were in good condition.
