Jim Ward notes improved grazing and growing conditions, with livestock reinvigorated and a recovery in rangeland. He cautions drought may persist, but harvests appear above average though pecans suffered delayed yields. Schuyler Wight and others emphasize desert conditions and lingering drought risk.
