After a hard-fought emergence battle, and some area rains, we are starting to see some green countryside in West Texas. It is a good to look across our irrigated fields and see green replacing brown as the dominant color for that spot. Generally speaking, it is a sign of some successes causing good vegetative growth. Most dryland fields remain brown as producers decide which direction to take them now that dryland cotton has mostly failed.
The Texas pecan crop looks heavy, and amid good growing conditions and few disease and pest problems, growers are being urged to thin the crop later this summer to avoid a harvest of poor-quality nuts, said a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service expert. Monte Nesbitt, AgriLife Extension horticulturist, College Station, said indicators suggest a stronger, more uniform crop than in the last several years.
