Rotating black-outs around Houston. Monday is nasty and power company tells residents that they may be without power all day.

Texas is starting to fill at end of March.

It's a big thick leaf figuring out yield so will be less yield.


But Oklahoma is further behind and still snow from there up.

Spring starts down the south end of march.

We have friends in Oklahoma. Average high is at least 12. No snow. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it would be the equivalent time of mid April for us. I’ve grown enough winter wheat to know that a minus 27 in mad April is going to suck. And that’s with our cultivars. I presume their wheats are a bit “softer” than ours?

Regardless, they feel the end of the world has come.

winter wheat has 9 lives but if it's dry and wrong time they will get paid crap insurance and move on to 2022.

Except their insurance probably isn’t crap. Like somewhere else I know!

In less than a month, farmers along the gulf coast will be wanting to plant corn. Things had better warm up by then or we'll see seeding delays.

When do they graze wheat pastures in Oklahoma and Texas? This cold must be buggering that too.
