He added that sorghum is mostly planted and most stands are good. The wheat harvest continues as the weather permits, he said, and yields have been good. He added that range conditions are decent and grasses are providing excellent grazing conditions for livestock. In Southeast Texas, District Extension Director Dale Fritz said rainfall has been sparse this week, but excessive rains last week have left the soil moisture in good condition. Fritz said cotton is being sprayed for insects and grasshoppers and other insects are causing problems for some crops.
Adequate grazing is available and pastures are looking good.
He said pecan scab is a real problem in some areas due to excessive rains. Corn borers and spider mites reported in corn. Disease, thrips a problem in cotton. Sorghum mostly planted. Soybeans doing well.
