Pecans are one of the oldest crops and are native to Texas. They're healthy and they taste great. District Extension Director Galen Chandler in Vernon said the wheat crop is improving with recent rain. He said early planted wheat has good quality, but late planted wheat will have limited, if any, grazing value. Jett Major, district Extension director in Lubbock, said cotton, grain sorghum and peanut harvests are almost complete.
Wheat is in poor to fair condition but is responding well to rainfall.
Dale Fritz, district Extension director in Bryan, said winter annuals are emerging, but growth is slow because of overcast conditions, and many fields are too wet for fertilizer application. District Extension Director Charles Neeb of Fort Stockton said most crops are very poor. He said pastures are in serious condition, but moisture has been beneficial to rangelands. Harvest of sorghum, soybeans, cotton and peanuts complete. Recent moisture beneficial to wheat.
