Wheat sowing delayed by rains across central regions
The early month rain hindered sowing in central and southern districts while later dry weather aided planting. Some southern counties still show one tenth to one half of the crop unsowed, though seeding elsewhere finished with soil in excellent condition. Early-sown wheat in parts of the north and south faces fly damage, but most stands before October 15 are healthy. Fall pastures vary from good in the north to short and dry in the central and south, with substantial fall plowing underway.
