The crop will be very light with production fair to poor. District Extension Director Jett Major in Lubbock said the weather remained open last week, allowing the cotton, peanut and sorghum harvests to progress more rapidly. Grain sorghum yields are also well below average. Major said stocker cattle are being turned out on most of the early-planted irrigated wheat. He said ranges and pastures are in fair condition, despite a freeze that stopped growth of native grasses.
Some wheat remains to be planted.
Stands are rated poor to good. A few fields of sunflower and soybeans remain to be harvested. Cattle are in good condition. Supplemental feeding continues. Peanut harvest resumes.
