Nebraska farmers work amid dry cold and frost hurt crops
About half of corn planted. winter wheat slightly worse with poor color in parts. Oats uneven. moisture scarce in western counties. Rye small acreage. barley large. Fruit frost damage limited to plums and some cherries. potatoes lightly affected. Seed corn plentiful. ground prep advancing but planting behind schedule. Grain movement to market near normal for date.
