Many counties in East Texas needed rain. A few areas in Houston and Marion counties received some rainfall. Subsoil and topsoil conditions were adequate. Hay production slowed due to lack of rain. Pasture and rangeland conditions were fair to good. Livestock were in fair to good condition. Cattle markets remained strong despite decreasing inventories. Producers battled armyworm infestations. Feral hog damage continued.
