The crop lost three points in the good to excellent category. The canola crop rated 61 percent good to fair. Row crop seeding continued to be delayed throughout the state due to wet conditions. Pasture and range conditions were rated 78 percent good to fair. Click here for the full Oklahoma report.


Thunderstorms moved across Texas this past week bringing upwards of ten inches of precipitation. Lodging of wheat and oats due to flooding and high winds was experienced in several regions.
