Nebraska's promising crop conditions in late January 2024

Nebraska's promising crop conditions in late January 2024


By Scout Nelson

The latest agricultural report for Nebraska, as of January 28, 2024, reflects a promising start to the year for the state's crops. According to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska's topsoil moisture supplies are in a healthy state, with 69% rated as adequate and an additional 5% classified as surplus.

Subsoil moisture, equally crucial for crop health, mirrors this positive trend. It's reported that 52% are adequate, while 2% are in surplus. There are areas of concern, with 11% of subsoil moisture rated as very short and 35% as short.

The field crops report, focusing on winter wheat, shows encouraging signs. A significant portion of the winter wheat crop is in good to excellent condition, with 58% rated as good and 11% as excellent. The report also indicates that 2% is in very poor condition and 4% in poor condition, calling attention to areas needing targeted care.

Nebraska's agricultural sector is expected to experience a productive season in 2024 due to favorable soil moisture levels and positive winter wheat conditions.
