Virtually all the wheat fields that were mighty thirsty for rain going into February now have had ample rainfall. Ranges and pastures should improve dramatically and be ready for spring green-up. Marty Gibbs, Coleman County Extension agent, says moisture is adequate there.
Grazing is still available.
Gibbs says there have been greenbugs in wheat, but no severe damage has been noted thus far. Chedester says greenbugs are still active in wheat there. Some of the wheat has provided limited grazing. Jones County is saturated. Wilcox says the moisture also will be a boon to pastures.
