v 2.4.3.0

The Panhandle experienced dry conditions and moderate temperatures, permitting the final maturity and harvest of most feed grain and oilseed crops. Soil moisture was very short to adequate. Pasture and rangeland conditions were poor to good. Crops were in fair to good condition. Most growers had sufficient soil moisture at planting to germinate small-grain seeds and achieved adequate seedling establishment. Acres planted to small grains were off to a good start. Warm-season crops grown for forage and silage were harvested. With the hot and cold temperature swings, cattle producers were battling respiratory illness in stocker calves.
