Rangelands and pastures in central Texas received some rain, but still needed more, and hay feeding increased. Livestock conditions were deteriorating, due to drought and heat. Producers needed rain to plow small grain seedbeds to prepare for planting. Soil moisture levels were short in nearly all counties in the district.
