Allen County farm agent Tom Maxwell warns continued dry weather depleting stock ponds threatens livestock in the four-county area. While not yet critical, water shortages could worsen if rainfall does not replenish supplies.
Four county agricultural agents in Neosho Wilson Woodson and Allen report that moisture more than any other factor will determine spring planting and harvest prospects. A good soaking rain soon could boost corn wheat and sorghum while continued dry spells threaten stands and delays across the region. Farmers remain hopeful but cautious as they wait for rain to resume fieldwork.
Farmers in Allen Woodson and Wilson counties report scarce moisture and delayed plantings. Pastures are dormant, alfalfa under stress, and oats and barley unlikely to grow. Cattle prices may rise if rainfall returns, while hogs and sheep show mixed trends amid drought. Agricultural services expand as off farm operations grow.
