I was afraid that was going to happen with such a late heavy freeze. I would imagine it affected the fruit crops as well. I know it affected the crepe mytle bushes in my front yard. They were leafing out and it all died back and they are just now coming out. We didn’t have near the freeze in Norman that they had in the wheat growing areas either.

We have a very high percent of wheat crop failure here in Texas due to the drouth here. My father is in the seed business and has had a total crop failure this year. Not freeze related, but because of record dry weather.

Condition only recently broke, with light rainfall.

Nothing this dry since 1952.
