2800 N. Lincoln Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73105 September 25, 2012 Vol. 60, No. 37 Mary Fallin, Governor Jim Reese, Commissioner Jamey Allen, Director Market Development Services This report along with archived reports, current market prices, and other available state reports are accessible online at: http://www.ag.ok.gov/mktdev-newshome.htm
Little to no rain fell across Oklahoma over the past week. Most of the Mesonet stations received no measurable rainfall, with a few showers in the northeast. Moisture from September 1st through the 23rd was below normal across the state, averaging 41 percent of normal precipitation during the crucial start to fall planting. Although the past week was very dry, moisture from showers the week before gave some producers the opportunity to plant wheat and canola. Some dusted in wheat while others are waiting for additional moisture before making planting decisions. The continuing drought meant no significant improve­ments to row crop conditions. Topsoil moisture conditions declined from the week prior, with 11 percent rated adequate. Subsoil moisture conditions declined slightly, with 96 percent of the state rated short to very short. --USDA OK Ag Statistics Service.
