Winter wheat planting is progressing. We've got Oklahoma at 5% planted, Kansas at 4%, and Texas at 7%. Bit of a dip from last year, but still in line with the usual pace.
Now, the corn harvest – it's shaping up quite well. Overall, we're doing better than usual, and here's some good news, over half of our corn fields are in good to excellent shape. Soybeans aren’t far behind, with more than half in great condition.
Quick word on cotton – it's having a mixed year. We've done well with setting bolls, but some parts, like Texas, have seen their cotton fields struggle a bit more.
Oklahoma friends, sorghum's been slower this year, lagging last year's progress. But don't fret, a majority still looks good to excellent.
On the livestock front, conditions are mostly positive. However, pasture and range conditions have seen drier spells, with many areas needing a splash more rain.
