Winter wheat in the Southern High Plains in Oklahoma and Texas was in rough shape due to drought, according to AgriLife Extension grain economist at Bryan-College Station. While it has been reported that emerged wheat fields were lost to dry conditions, there is still time for dryland wheat to recover and make grain. Wheat is struggling, but the crop is still dormant in most parts of Texas.
