FAR WEST: Temperature highs were in the mid-80s with lows around 30 degrees No recordable precipitation was reported Very high winds caused topsoil to dry out, and fire danger increased A hard freeze was expected to have a detrimental effect on planted wheat Pear and peach trees were blooming, and winter weeds were abundant Livestock were in good condition Producers continued to prepare cotton fields. Kidding of lambs and goats was going strong

WEST CENTRAL: Conditions were warm and dry before turning cold late in the reporting period. Work continued to prepare fields for warm-season crops Winter wheat was in fair to good condition Rangeland and pasture conditions improved, but the district needed rain Demand for cattle was very strong, and sale barns were active Stocker steers and heifers sold steady and were moved to graze out wheat Pairs and bred cows were in good demand due to pasture green-up Feeders were steady and slaughter cows/bulls up $2-$5 per hundredweight Livestock remained in fair to good condition

SOUTHEAST: Several counties received additional rains, which were expected to delay the planting of row crops Pastures and fields were saturated in some areas Temperatures turned cold in parts of the district Producers were unable to prepare rice fields for planting due to rain events Hay supplies were dwindling as winter conditions persisted Overall pasture conditions were weak due to cool temperatures and

SOUTHWEST: A cold front brought freezing temperatures to most counties Temperatures may set back grasses and trees that were greening up Foggy mornings and misty days brought traces of precipitation Planting was expected to be in full swing soon in fields dry enough to plant Supplemental feeding of livestock continued

SOUTH: Northern and western parts of the district reported mild weather conditions with short to adequate soil moisture levels Southern and eastern parts of the district reported cool temperatures and adequate to short moisture levels Eastern parts reported rainfall Some counties reported moisture from overcast, foggy, drizzly conditions. Fieldwork continued, but planting was delayed due to the chance of another freeze Potato planting was completed for the most part, and most planted fields had emerged. Most row-crop producers were expected to halt plantings due to colder temperatures in the forecast Farmers were preparing fields for crops Corn and sorghum plantings were active Oat and wheat fields were in good condition for cattle grazing Wheat fields continued to progress under irrigation Pastures and rangelands needed rainfall, and livestock supplementation continued Coastal Bermuda grass fields were greener Livestock producers reported some spring green-up on native rangelands and pastures Supplemental feeding of livestock was reported by most producers Cotton plantings were expected to begin in the next 10 days Cabbage and spinach harvests continued Cattle producers were beginning to think about herd rotation and culling by Adam Russell, 903-834-6191,
