Precipitation welcomed in Nebraska

Although precipitation amounts from weekend rain and snow in Nebraska were generally one inch or less, the precipitation was expecially welcome in areas where drought conditions are the most severe—specifically, south central and southwestern Nebraska.

Some areas of south central Nebraska received in excess of one inch of precipitation.

The weekly crop progress report for the state indicates a few fields of corn were planted last week in southern counties, amounting to one percent of corn planting statewide.  But most farmers were waiting for the weekend conditions to clear and soils to warm.

Winter wheat condition rated 12 percent poor to very poor, 81 percent fair to good, and seven percent excellent.
