East: Jasper County had 13 inches of rain. Smith County had thunderstorms with high winds and some hail. Fields and pastures throughout the region were saturated, and the forecast was for several days of more rain. All counties had adequate or surplus subsoil and topsoil moisture. Ponds were full. Vegetable growers couldn’t get into fields to work. The warmer weather and plentiful moisture was good for warm-season grasses. Ryegrass was growing, and Bermuda grass was breaking dormancy. Harrison and Upshur county producers were able to apply pasture fertilization and herbicides as fields became drier. Cattle were in good to excellent condition, with the grazing so good that some were completely ignoring hay. Spring calving continued along with cattle working. Selling of cull cows and market-ready calves continued. Cattle prices remained high. Some producers began selling calves they had carried over from last year. Feral hogs continued to be a problem.
