This week, Texas crop condition ratings for winter wheat improved. Currently, 25 percent of the crop is rated as good to excellent, 40 percent fair and 35 percent poor to very poor. Current projections estimate that 90 percent of the crop has emerged, compared to the five year average of 93 percent. Precipitation in many key growing areas during December has allowed the crop to progress better than originally expected, but more moisture is still needed.
