Pasture conditions improve in Tennessee

January was wetter and warmer than normal for Tennessee, leaving soil saturated and muddy, but eliminating any soil moisture deficits.

The USDA says 67% of the winter wheat crop is rated good to excellent, 1% less than last month, while 32% of pastures and rangelands are called good to excellent, 12% more than at the end of December.

57% of the state has adequate supplies of hay and roughage, but 32% of Tennessee is short to very short, leading to concerns about shortages in some areas.

Cattle conditions are mostly good.

The USDA’s weekly national crop progress and condition reports resume in April.
