The drought continued to develop across the state under hot and dry conditions the past week. Over 61 percent of the state was in a moderate to extreme drought per the July 3rd Drought Monitor. Little to no rain fell in western and central Oklahoma, with a few isolated areas of heavier rainfall in eastern Oklahoma and the Panhandle: All crops suffered from the developing drought, though dryland crops fared worse with the lack of precipitation the past few weeks. Livestock conditions declined somewhat, as the heat took its toll on the animals, as well as the available pasture and stock ponds. Grasses were burning up and hay production was limited. Topsoil moisture conditions were rated mostly short to very short, with only six percent rated adequate. Subsoil moisture conditions were rated short to very short, with 14 percent rated adequate.--USDA.

********************************************************* Higher Grains Impacting Feeder and Calf Markets Sharply higher grains--especially corn and soybeans--pres­sured cattle futures this week and cash markets followed by moving lower. Calf and feeder demand turned light to moder­ate where tested this week. Demand was especially light for unweaned, new crop calves. Deteriorating grazing conditions and high temperatures nega­tively affecting demand for this class of calves. *********************************************************
