Topsoil levels and subsoil levels were short to adequate across North Texas. Pasture and rangeland conditions were poor to good. Soil moisture conditions were dry in many areas, and the weather remained dry, warm and windy. Hay feeding increased in some counties. Cool-season pasture grasses emerged but were exhibiting increased drought stress. The recent freeze halted most warm-season grass and weed growth. Winter vegetables were progressing well in some parts of the district, while some winter pastures were awaiting rainfall to germinate. Tomatoes and peppers were still producing in the warm weather. Livestock conditions were good.
