Much of the state experienced rainfall from trace amounts to upwards of 10 inches for the week ending May 17, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, Texas Field Office, May 18.

Areas of the Blacklands, the North East, the Coastal Bend, and South Texas reached upwards of 10 inches while the Trans-Pecos and the Southern High Plains received only trace amounts. Strong winds and hail storms caused damage to crops throughout many areas of the state again last week.

Onions yet to be harvested may be lost due to wet fields in areas of South Texas. In areas of the Trans-Pecos pecan trees were in good condition and at full bloom stage, while in South Texas producers prepared to plant peanuts.
