Several counties in Southeast Texas faced dry weather while some locations received light to moderate rain that improved soil moisture and boosted crop growth. Despite improvements, many producers still needed additional moisture to sustain progress. Ponds were low and pastures were in fair shape. Corn, sorghum and rice fields were planted, and emerged fields progressed well. Livestock, pasture and grazing conditions improved. Some pastures struggled with excessive rainfall and humidity, which delayed hay cutting. Pasture and rangeland conditions were poor to excellent. Soil moisture levels were short to surplus. Livestock body conditions were fair to excellent. Wheat was in fair condition and headed out.
