Hot and dry conditions were observed across Far West Texas. Temperatures were above average, especially at night, which hurt overnight crop recovery. High winds persisted, further drying out cropland and rangeland despite some shower activity moving through areas. Crop adjusters were traveling throughout the region to assess noted negative impacts on cotton, corn and sorghum. Pecans and hay crops were doing well for the time being. Melons were being harvested just ahead of schedule. Soil moisture was depleted, and pastures continued to dry out, requiring more hay and supplementation for livestock.
