The topsoil moisture supply was 5 percent very short, 21 percent short, 63 percent adequate, and 11 percent surplus. The southeast district was 53 percent in the very short and short categories, followed by west-central and southwest districts with 51 percent in the short and very short categories. Statewide the subsoil moisture supply was 1 percent very short, 17 percent short, 75 percent adequate, and 7 percent surplus.
