Many South Plains farmers planted late winter wheat prior to Thanksgiving, hoping that enough moisture would fall to promote emergence. Cattle were on supplemental feed, due to drought-stricken pastures.
AgriLife Today (College Station, Texas), Dec. 1, 2020
South Plains cattle were on supplemental feed as pastures were bare. Emerging winter wheat needed rain.
AgriLife Today (College Station, Texas), Nov. 24, 2020
The South Plains remained dry. Very little dryland winter wheat emerged for lack of moisture. Local cattle producers were relying heavily on hay and supplemental feeding.
AgriLife Today (College Station, Texas), Nov. 17, 2020
Many South Plains producers were not planting winter wheat for lack of moisture. Cattle required supplemental feed as pasture conditions were poor.

South Plains cattle continued to be in good condition with supplemental feeding.
