Texas Crop Progress and Condition, April 30-May 6, 2018

According to the April 30-May 6 USDA-NASS Texas Crop Progress and Condition report, average temperatures increased from the previous week in most parts of the state. Storms caused some wind and hail damage, but also brought much-needed moisture. The Trans-Pecos and the High Plains got little to no precipitation, but the rest of the state received between 0.2 and 3 inches, with isolated areas reporting upwards of 4.5 inches. There were 6.1 days suitable for fieldwork. Cattle producers in the Northern Low Plains were having issues with lice and ticks. Cattle and livestock conditions in most of the state were good to fair, but some producers reported cattle condition as fair to poor in areas of the Plains, the Trans Pecos and South Texas. Some of these producers had begun culling herds. Pasture and range condition remained unchanged from the previous week.
