There have been a number of wild fires on the Peninsula due to the lack of rainfall. Growers reported 83 percent of the peanuts are planted. Ranchers in the north and central counties are feeding supplemental hay. In the Panhan dle, hay supplies are short. In the central area, most water holes are dry and some wells are going dry.
Pasture grass is extremely short.
In the west central area, the cattle condition continues to fall off. Brush fires are active. In the southwest, pasture is in fair conditions. Most of this week was very dry and hot. There were a few scattered showers in isolated areas that were insufficient to break the current drought.
