Many wheat fields throughout the State were short on nitrogen and topdressing is needed. ... Texas: Rain returned to most areas of Texas. Just how long the rain would last was the question of the week for producers. A cold front blew through the state, resulting in rainfall amounts ranging from ½ to 2 inches on the Panhandle and South Plains. The northern half of the state realized low temperatures down in the 20\'s and 30\'s with some thermometer readings as low as the teens on the Panhandle. Effects of the long term drought were still prevalent across the state and a pattern of increased precipitation would have to be established before producers\' could have much optimism about the crop year. Only limited benefit from the rain and snow on the Panhandle was expected for remaining dryland wheat. For most fields, the probability of a decent grain crop was slim. Wheat across the Blacklands and Northeast Texas was beginning to show some promise after a few weeks of increased moisture. Statewide, wheat condition was rated mostly poor to very poor. Wheat condition was rated 9 percent very poor, 20 percent poor, 45 percent fair, 24 percent good, and 2 percent excellent. Wheat freeze damage reports indicated 82 percent of the wheat has not been damaged, 16 percent with light damage, and 2 percent with moderate damage. Reports of wind damage indicated 75 percent of the wheat with no damage, 20 percent with light damage, 4 percent with moderate damage, and 1 percent with severe damage. Insect reports indicated 75 percent with no infestation, 20 percent with light infestation, 4 percent with moderate infestation, and 1 percent with severe infestation. |
