Dry Year Ends with Steady Rains Boosting County Harvests
County Agent C. H. Hailey reports 1964 offers better timing than 1963 with rains spaced to support grass and crops. Hay prospects look good, first alfalfa cuttings yielded well, though cutworms appeared before moving on. Growers boost hybrid sudan seeding to secure summer hay while pecans show heavy set and bermuda grass benefits from rainfall. Farmers remain wary of market conditions but praise moisture, pond levels, and pasture growth.
