Some areas of the South Plains received trace amounts of rain up to 3 inches while other areas had no rain at all and remained desperate for rainfall. The cooler weather and humidity helped wheat fields. Some farmers received enough moisture to start planting corn and sorghum. In areas that received rain, the warm-season grasses were improving dramatically. Cattle were in good condition, but some were still on supplemental feed.
