Nebraska’s wheat rating slips again

The December 31^st weather and crops report from the Nebraska Ag Statistics Service shows nearly half of the state’s winter wheat crop is rated poor to very poor.

The crop is rated 34 percent poor and 15 percent very poor, with 37 percent fair and 14 percent good.  None of the crop earned an excellent rating.

Nebraska hay and forage supplies were listed as 39 percent short to very short and 61 percent adequate.  The condition of cattle and calves rated 70 percent good to excellent, well below last year’s 93 percent good to excellent.
