Moisture Helps Wheat in Western Kansas
Light moisture touched western Kansas wheat last week while surface moisture remained scarce there. Subsoil moisture stayed short in the west and adequate elsewhere, with some irrigated fields and snow-covered areas fertilized. Cold, wet conditions limited fieldwork. oat and barley plantings rose in southern counties, with about 1 percent of oat acres seeded by Feb 13. Livestock feeding stayed heavy as temps fluctuated and grazing was hindered by wet fields, stressing local hay supplies. Calving and farrowing were underway, with some newborn losses and minor lice in cattle herds.
