The condition of winter wheat in the Texas Panhandle was deteriorating as dry, windy weather dried out the region. Rain was needed for spring planting. Wheat growers were irrigating where they had the capability. Cattle were being moved to wheat pastures to be grazed, while cattle on rangelands were given supplemental feed.
