The Texas terrain, at least across much of the state looks a lot different than it did this time last year.
Following a recent drive through Central Texas, Dr. Travis Miller said he noticed a lot of green that wasn’t there this time last year.
“There are certainly still some severely dry areas in the state,” said Miller, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension agronomist and Texas A&M University soil and crop sciences associate department head, College Station. “But over the last month to 60 days, we’ve had significant rainfall in a lot of Texas, and it’s made a lot of difference.”
