Excessive soil moisture in parts of Tennessee

Nearly all of Tennessee has plenty of soil moisture.

The USDA says 99% of topsoil and 98% of subsoil have adequate to surplus moisture levels after ample rainfall during March.

That rain did cause some flood damage to winter wheat and part of that crop is expected to be lost after a deep freeze during December, but 62% of the crop is in good to excellent shape, 5% above a month ago.
