Rain Ends As Freezing Point Hits Sidney Airport
The week of rain ends with clearing skies and a 32 degree low at Sidney airport. Farmers hail the moisture as a boost to crops and grasslands, though some tender plants may have been nipped. Seeding delays persist in western Nebraska with 20 percent of corn planted by mid May, while winter wheat progresses unevenly across eastern counties. Hay prospects dim as late start and slow growth limit forage output. Cattle and calves regain condition with new green feed becoming more available.
