Northwest Texas Panhandle | It seems to me that we've been dry for so many years now that its become the norm. Over the last 12 months we've had between 8-12 inches on our fields most of it coming less than a half inch at a time. We got a .15" shower a couple of weeks before planting this field and somehow that must have gotten it up. There was a half inch shower later and several .5-1.5" snows. Around December, I thought the stuff was already done for but at the beginning of the year I noticed there was a pretty good stand. All it'll take is a couple small showers and this wheat can do amazing things. It actually looks better than last year when the wind wrecked havoc on it but it still averaged 26 bushels.
