According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, the severity of the drought ranged from moderate to severe across much of West Central Texas. About seventy five percent of the dry land wheat crop failed. Many ranchers continued to supplement feed for their livestock.  Many tanks have dried up.  But there was some improvement in the drought across the southern portions of West Central Texas because of beneficial rainfall.  For this reason, the following counties were removed from the drought:  Sleicher, Crockett, Menard, McCulloch, San Saba and Concho.   For the month of April, Abilene received 1.07 inches, San Angelo received 4.61 inches, and Junction received 5.09 inches to help bring a little relief but not enough to break the drought.
