How localized or widespread are the conditions you are reporting?
Widespread. I personally track rainfall that spans across a line from the corners of southern Lincoln County through western Kiowa County into the western portion of Cheyenne County. I traveled to Amarillo, TX, this weekend and conditions did not change south through the Oklahoma Panhandle and only improved slightly into Texas. Though we did receive a thunderstorm towards, Brandon, CO, in Kiowa County last night it was spotty as they have been all year.

How are crop conditions at this time?
Very Poor - Extreme degree of loss to yield potential, complete or near crop failure.

Planting Status:
Later than normal

Harvest Status:
Later than normal

Crop production:
reduced_yield,plant_stress,erosion,other

Crop production - Other:
High temperatures and strong winds the last half of the week into today have dried out the soil even more since last week. Neighbors reporting that wheat seed they thought they had in moisture now is NOT sitting in moisture anymore. Other reports of having drilled 3 inches deep in an attempt to reach moisture further below. Many stands drilled in the last week and half are very spotty as of date. Many wheat fields still undrilled as producers wait for a thunderstorm to fall over their field. Fall crops are beyond repair with poor yield or complete loss predicted. Summerfallow fields just east and south of Eads blowing dust across highway 287. A mix of normal fall harvest start date to later than normal due to late sprouting "sucker" heads which will need a freeze to finish and then may influence grain with low test weights having not matured properly.

How are range conditions at this time?
Very Poor - Pastures provide very little or no feed. Supplemental feeding is required to maintain livestock condition.

Public health impact - Other:
The mental health of FARMERS AND RANCHERS is deteriorating as they manage the economic impact of poor markets and harvests having nothing to bring in for income yet continuing to endure inflated costs to steward the land. The added high temperatures and strong winds for this time of year as well as missed thunderstorms continues to add stress to farmers and ranchers.
