Progress is being made planting corn in parts of Texas, and winter wheat and oats headed are being reported. Some corn has already been planted in parts of Texas. Rain in the forecast as March began pushed growers in central Texas to begin planting their corn crop in order to take advantage of the moisture. Central Texas saw a high level of activity this week to get corn planted before the rain arrived. The Texas Crop Progress report said that much of Texas experienced dry, windy weather during the week of Feb. 24–March 3. Rainfall ranged from trace amounts up to one inch with the Blacklands and the Upper Coast receiving the most rain, USDA reported. For those that didn’t get their corn planted before the rain fell, they will now need to wait for things to dry out to get their equipment in the fields.
