Farm And Ranch Outlook Promising With Looming Wire Shortage
A USDA outlook forecasts excellent conditions for crops and livestock in the area. Recent rains provide soil moisture, with corn, grains, sorghum, peanuts, and soybeans poised for strong yields and some apples being harvested. Baling wire shortages threaten hay harvests, likely worsening before improving, with six months expected for relief. Bollworms affect Texas cotton, but Montague County’s small cotton area limits impact. Armyworms in pastures may yield another generation around August 15 to 20, manageable with early spraying.
