Texas Crop & Livestock Weather 04/21/15

East: Fields throughout the area remained extremely wet. Continued rainfall was making it difficult to get into pastures and fields. Producers were waiting on drier conditions to move equipment stuck in muddy fields. Lakes, ponds, streams and creeks were full. Subsoil and topsoil moisture was adequate or surplus. Some trees were uprooted and toppled because of saturated soils and heavy leaf canopies. Winds from a recent storm system also damaged trees. Newly planted trees were not doing well in the wet soils. Herbicide and fertilizer applications were being applied where equipment could go and not get stuck. Livestock were doing well with very little supplemental feeding taking place. Spring calving continued. Cows were gaining weight on the new grass. Bulls were turned out for the breeding season.
