Crop outlook shows gradual improvement after spring drought
The Nebraska Co-Operative Livestock and Crop Reporting Service announced that corn, sorghum, potatoes, alfalfa and pasture show better prospects since spring drought ended a few weeks ago. Winter wheat and wild hay suffered severe damage, with yields expected light. Rainfall August through May was about 20 percent below normal, and optimism for key crops remains limited due to April and May dryness. Timely July and August rain will be crucial as moisture demand peaks. Early lush fall growth of wheat used much of the available moisture.
