East: Warmer days and nights along with sunny days turned pastures around. Ryegrass and clovers were doing very well, with warm-season grasses beginning to break dormancy and green up too. Fruit trees and flowers were blooming. In Henderson County, soils remained saturated, which halted all planting and seedbed preparation. In Houston County, cotton producers were still unable to get into the fields to plant. If Houston County farmers can’t plant by the April 15 crop insurance deadline, there will likely be no cotton grown there. Most pastures remained too wet for even tractors to drive through. Subsoil and topsoil moisture were surplus in most counties. Lakes and ponds were full to overflowing. Producers were allowing cattle to graze intensively heavily and stopped supplemental feeding. Cattle were in good condition. Producers were weaning and selling market-ready calves, and working new crop calves. Feral hogs were active.
