A few dryland wheat fields are beginning to emerge. Rains needed soon if wheat crop is to survive. Hay being harvested in some places. Preparing soil for spring planting. Peanut harvest under way.
Dry conditions continue.
The peanut harvest is nearing completion with excellent quality and near record yields. Vegetables making progress under heavy irrigation. Oats and wheat have poor emergence or very poor stands due to lack of rain. Hay cutting activities slowed. Dry weather has kept winter pastures from being planted.
