Unirrigated crops in Northeast Colorado continued to decline quickly without consistent rain. Low soil moisture ahead of fall planting was a concern, but producers continued preparation for winter wheat seeding. Hot, dry weather hurt pasture and rangeland conditions, leading some producers to seek other grazing arrangements to supplement.
