Texas Farmers Weigh Benefits and Damage From Rains
Texas farmers weighed the mixed effects of two weeks of rain as soils dried. USDA notes washing in some fields across cross timbers, low rolling plains and northern plateau with replanting in cotton and sorghum where stands were washed out. Subsoil moisture improved prospects for cotton, feed crops and pasture, while more rain was needed in other regions. Wheat harvest in low rolling plains and cross timbers expected after soils dry.
