The drought and heat are causing widespread agricultural stress in Texas, with reduced yields, crop failures, and increased irrigation demands. In the High Plains, sorghum and other summer crops are experiencing sharply reduced yields, while dryland acres face outright failure. Cotton and peanuts in the Rolling Plains are also under stress due to high temperatures and lack of rainfall. Rice crops are affected by excess moisture, leading to lower yields and regrowth issues. Livestock producers are facing reduced forage availability and early supplemental feeding needs. Additionally, pest activity, such as rice delphacid, poses ongoing risks to crop health. These conditions are impacting farmers' livelihoods and the state's agricultural output.
