AgriLife Extension district reporters compiled the following summary for the Central Texas district: Soil moisture was very short to adequate. Pastures were starting to green up with warmer temperatures, but growth was mostly weeds.

Soil temperatures began to rise, but Bermuda grass remained dormant.

Producers were top dressing oat and wheat fields and planting corn.
