Moisture Helps Winter Wheat Grow In November
The 1976 winter wheat crop improved during November according to a Santa Fe Railway crop report. Rain and snow brought relief to wheat in southeastern Colorado, northeastern New Mexico, southwestern Kansas, parts of the Texas Panhandle and adjacent Oklahoma, but more moisture is needed to restore topsoil. Temperature swings limited growth and blowing caused some crop damage in dryland areas.
