East: The region finally had a week without rain, allowing soils and crops to dry out to a great extent. Rain was forecast, however, and producers were cutting hay where possible. Many fields were still too wet for farmers to enter with equipment. Subsoil and topsoil moisture was adequate to surplus. In Henderson County, floodwaters continued to rise along Cedar Creek and Trinity River. Blackberry and blueberry harvesting began. Vegetables were also being harvested, but quality was poor due to excessive rain and saturated soils. Anderson County corn and grain sorghum were a 100 percent loss, as a levee broke on the Trinity River and the crops were flooded. Diseases and insects damaged plants and crops. Area cattle markets remained strong as weather conditions improved allowing many producers into fields to work and cull herds. Cattle were in good condition. Horn fly problems increased. Mosquitos and gnats were abundant.
