Tennessee sees mostly dry December
December was warmer than normal for much of Tennessee.
The USDA says that weather helped pasture and winter wheat conditions hold up relatively well, but mid-month tornadoes did damage or destroy homes, sheds, and equipment in some areas.
43% of Tennessee’s winter wheat crop is called good to excellent, 14% lower than the last update in late November, while 40% is in fair condition, 7% higher.
71% of cattle are in good to excellent shape and 92% of Tennessee has adequate to surplus hay and roughage.
Nearly all of Tennessee has adequate to surplus soil moisture.
The USDA’s next state update is out later this month.
