Cotton, corn, oats, and wheat in the Panhandle-South Plains region of Texas have taken a beating from the heat and drought. About 54% of the state’s cotton was in fair or better condition; about 62% of the corn was in fair or better condition; and about 17% of the wheat was in fair or better condition. Oat, sorghum and peanut crops were also struggling with 22%, 58% and 79% in fair or better condition.
