District Extension Director Galen Chandler said the wheat crop has received more moisture but growth has slowed extremely due to cold temperatures. Chandler said the cotton harvest has stopped again due to wet field conditions. There may be a few fields stripped after the first of the year. District Extension Director Terry Lockamy of Welasco said cold weather has halted and minimized work in the fields. Lockamy said pasture and range conditions remain fair to poor and harvest is continuing on peppers, greens and onions.
Temperatures are lowest of season due to cold front.
Some land preparations under way for spring planting. Cattle stressed from extreme cold. Pasture and ranges in fair to good condition. Wheat in fair condition. Ice and light snow created more moisture than usual.
