Crop conditions improve across the state despite late snow
For the week ending April 2 the state faced a colder April with temperatures dipping below average and a historic snowstorm on the seventh. Snowfall ranged seven to eight inches in parts but crops remained largely unscathed. Seeding of small grain progressed unevenly with 75 to 85 percent complete in eastern areas, and fall wheat losses noted in southern and eastern counties. Grass and pastures began to grow as fieldwork resumed and supply notes mention new stock feed orders from Ames Feed Mill.
