Central: Soil moisture, overall rangeland and pastures, crops and livestock were all rated as being in good condition. Wheat yields were mostly average with some light bushel weights and some sprout discounts. The condition of the corn crop was highly variable from row to row in the fields. Some corn was severely stunted from too much moisture, while plants a few rows over looked extremely good. Stock-water tanks were full. Cattle were in good condition. Sugarcane aphid pressure on sorghum was very low. Pastures were in great condition due to the growth of warm-season grasses and record rainfall. Rivers were flowing. The Brazos River was still in its banks, and there were no forecasts of flooding. The second cutting of hay was growing and looking good.

Coastal Bend: The region had a few spotty showers over the weekend, with lower-than-normal temperatures. Field crops and pastures still needed to dry out after the rains from Tropical Storm Bill. There were also reports of slight to severe wind damage to grain sorghum and corn. However, cows with calves at their sides were in great condition as grass was abundant. There were reports of Bermuda grass stem maggots, a relatively new pest to Texas, in several fields. Some insect pressure was observed in grain sorghum fields, primarily stinkbugs and head worms, as well as some aphids. Cotton looked good for most part, although some fields still had plants with yellowed leaves from the excessive moisture. Also, some cotton was dropping squares or not setting bolls.
