Rain Brings Hope for Texas Crops amid Flood Threats
Statewide rains uplifted farmers from drought fears to a buoyant outlook, with Agriculture Commissioner John White saying the wet spell is the best in five years for Central and North Texas. He cautioned the damage of years past can't be repaired quickly and urged more rain. New downpours hit Brady and Eastland, posing flood risks, though danger eased by Thursday. Forecasters expect continued rain across the Pecos Valley to the eastern counties through Friday, aiding grain sorghum planting.
