WINTER WHEAT

Winter wheat in good condition in Kansas and fair to good across rest of
Nation at beginning of March. A major winter storm produced heavy snow across
central and southern Plains during the first week of February, Snow cover
from this storm temporarily protected crop from freezing temperatures and
replenished soil moisture. Entire month dominated by mild temperatures
melting most snow cover on Great Plains by midmonth and promoting early spring
growth in south, By end of February, crop greening as far north as Nebraska,
Producers in Corn Belt beginning land preparation for spring planting of smal}
grains. Wet conditions prevailed in Southeast, limiting topdressing and
elaying land preparation. .

Kansas stands rated generally good as mild temperatures caused crop to
break dormancy. Topsoil moisture adequate. Growers applied fertilizer, as
field conditions permitted. Wheat in Oklahoma remained dormant unti} midmonth
when warm weather and adequate moisture promoted excellent growth. Cattle
producers began moving herds back onto wheat pastures across southern Plains
by beginning of March. Producers in Texas rated crop fair to good, with
minimal disease and insect problems. Moisture conditions on Texas Plains
excellent. Stands making good growth.

In Arizona's Yuma County, early planted fields jointing. Later plantings
in boot and tiller stage by end of February. Stands making average growth.
Northern Plains wheatlands had little or no snowcover entire month but wind
damage and winterki)) were minima) and crop was in fair to good condition.

FEBRUARY FIELOWORK

Heavy snow fell from the southern Plains through the Corn Belt in early
February, halting outdoor activities. Livestock producers incurred some
losses and were forced to feed large amounts of feed. However, above normal
temperatures at the end of the month melted most of the snowcover across the
North and promoted growth of crops and pastures in the South. Early spring
planting was continually delayed by widespread precipitation in the
Southeast. However, by the end of the month, corn planting was underway in
the extreme South from Texas to Florida. Southern Texas growers began
planting grain sorghum by the last week in February. Seed bed preparation for
the new cotton crop was active in the Southwest, as field conditions
permitted. Tobacco producers prepared and seeded plantbeds across the South.
Transplanting was underway in Florida, on a limited basis, at the end of the
month. Northern deciduous fruit producers pruned trees, applied dormant
sprays and planted new trees. Peach buds began to open from South Texas to
Arkansas. Vegetable harvesting and spring planting was active in parts of
Florida, Texas, Arizona and California.

FEBRUARY WEATHER SUMMARY

A series of storms, originating in the Gulf of Mexico, triggered heavy
rain from southern Texas to southeastern Oklahoma, eastward to the Atlantic
Ocean and along most of the east coast. Heavy, persistent rain caused local
flooding. Some parts of southern Florida measured over 10 inches of rain. A
storm intensified off the North Carolina coast during the second week of the
month, causing one of the worst snowstorms of the century in the mid-Atlantic
States and southern New England. The picture was much the same in the West.
A large low-pressure system off the west coast spawned storms that moved onto
the coast with high winds, heavy rain, thunderstorms, and even tornadoes.
Each successive storm seemed more intense than its predecessor. Average
temperatures for the month were warmer than normal over most of the Nation.
Parts of the northern Plains averaged 120 warmer than normal. The South and
Southeast were cooler than normal.

FIRST WEEK...A strong storm moved out of the West, dumping heavy snow from
the central Plains to the western Great Lakes region. As one part of the
storm moved eastward through the Lakes, frigid artic air moved southward into
the Plains and record warm air invaded the East. Another part of the same
storm moved through the southern States and triggered severe weather,
including heavy rain, hail, and tornadoes. More than a dozen tornadoes hit
the Florida peninsula, causing local damage. Flooding was widespread across
the South. As the colder air moved in late in the week snow fell through the
Northeast and from the southern Appalachians to the mid-Atlantic States.
Average temperatures far the week were much calder than normal through the
central Plains and much warmer than normal in the Northeast and eastern Great
Lakes region.

SECOND WEEK...A low-pressure system moved up the east coast early in the
week, spreading rain through the Southeast, freezing rain and rain along the
coast of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, and snow inland through the
mountains of North Carolina, through the Northeast, and from the Ohio River
northward. Later, another storm developed in the Gulf of Mexico and spread
heavy rain and severe weather from eastern Texas through the Southeast.
Violent thunderstorms flooded parts of southern Florida. The storm followed
the same track as the earlier one but deepened off the North Carolina coast,
resulting in a severe winter storm. Snow covered the Northeast from North
Carolina northward, and blizzard to near-blizzard conditions reached from
northern Virginia to New England. Record snow depths were measured in the
latter area. Pacific storms spread heavy rain along the west coast and
lighter showers across the Plateau to the Rockies. Average temperatures were
warmer than normal in the West and northern Plains but as much as 6° cooler
in the East.

THIRD WEEK...A storm developed in %he southern Gulf of Mexico and moved
over the Florida Peninsula on the first day of the week. The storm triggered
very heavy rain over the already flooded southern Florida area and then moved
northward, spreading tight to moderate rain from Florida to southern Virginia
before turning sharply eastward into the Atlantic. A series of storms from
the Pacific brought heavy rain and high winds to the Northwest from central
California to Washington and lighter showers over the Plateau to the Rockies
and into the Plains. A storm in the western Gulf of Mexico spread showers and
thunderstorms from southern Texas into Kansas and then spread its severe
weather along the gulf coast and over the Southeast--excessive rain covered
Florida again. The storm moved northward well off the east coast but
triggered light rain along the coast to New England. The rain changed to snow
before ending in New York and New England. Wet snow fell through the Great
Lakes region from midweek on.

FOURTH WEEK...A cold front from the Pacific, having moved through the
mountains, reorganized in the’ Plains, triggering snow from New Mexico
northeastward to the Great Lakes. Very warm-air ahead of the front changed
the snow to rain, and the rain covered most of the East. Only northern
Michigan and the mountains of New England had snow. A_ low-pressure system
formed on the southern end of the front in the Gulf of Mexico, triggering
thunderstorms through the Rio Grande Valley and then from eastern Texas
through the Southeast. This time Florida got off with only light showers.
Storms continued to move onto the Pacific coast, and each storm seemed to be
more intense than the previous one. High winds and heavy rain battered the
entire west coast, and another, more severe storm, was poised to hit southern
California as the month ended. After a brief respite, another Gulf storm
poured heavy rain along the coast and over Florida. Most of the Nation
averaged warmer than normal. The northern Plains were as much as 18° warmer
than normal. (Prepared by NGAA/USOA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility.)
