Thanks to recent rains, on Thursday the U.S. Drought Monitor announced that for the first time since 2012, no area in Texas is listed in the exceptional drought category, but now farmers and ranchers are facing a new problem.

"It was a blessing four or five weeks ago, then two or three weeks ago it was still a blessing. Now it needs to stop."

Ben Wible has been a farmer in Grayson County since the 1970s. He said normally this time of year he would be up in his tractor harvesting hay, but the saturated ground has made that impossible, for him, and other farmers.

"There's going to be thousands of acres not planted just because they could not get in because of the mud," he said.

Aaron Looney, owns a farm in Pottsboro, he didn't get his corn planted before the rain and now it's too late. He also predicts that more than half of his wheat crop might not be salvageable.

"I don't remember it ever raining this much, this long," Looney said.

According to the U.S. Drought monitor this year almost 65 % of Texas is no longer in drought, compared to the 9% last year.

"If it doesn't dry up it's going to be tough," Looney said.

Looney said he hopes his cattle will make-up for the crop losses he'll see this year due to flooding.

"Rain is good, you've got to have it," he said,"but we've just had to much."
