Crop and pasture stress remained an issue across the Far West. Limited pockets of precipitation mitigated the stress impacts in some areas. Pima and upland cotton were doing well in the western parts of the district, but yield potential suffered in the east. Scattered rain showers contributed to weeds and grass in alfalfa. Nutritional supplementation was required district-wide as livestock conditions continued to decline in late summer.
