As of March 29, the area of extreme drought that covered most of ������������ and part of Stafford County shrank a bit and moved back to severe status and drought ranging from moderate to exceptional still covers the western two-thirds of the state in spite of recent moisture.�� It will take a great deal of precipitation to improve the outlook but the recent moisture will help the wheat.�� Wheat looks much better now than just a week ago.�� The six to ten-day outlook (April 5 to 9) indicates near-normal temperatures and a 33 – 40% of below-normal precipitation.�� The eight to fourteen-day outlook (April 7 to 13) indicates exactly the same outlook.�� Cooler temperatures will help the wheat but even normal precipitation will only have the crop hanging on.��
