- 2/22 - Murray County, Minn.: Our last measurable rain was August 12. Since then we have received a few dustings of snow which has done little to recharge our soils. Producers are wondering, "What’s the point?" of planting anything with such dire conditions. As of now our yield forecast for the 2012 crops is zero! Nevertheless we will plant it in dust and hope for the best!
- 2/21 - Livingston/LaSalle counties, Ill.: Like most of the country, this winter has been warmer than normal, with minimal snow cover. Have had more rain than snow. Soil moisture is adequate! Applied N to the wheat on Feb 13th. Had a couple cool mornings. There were some wet spots, but were able to get over it without breaking through! In this area, the wheat looks better than it has in the recent 5 years or so. Have been reports of some wheat heaving with the fluctuations in temperature, but the majority looks very good! In the past two weeks, I've had the opportunity to travel approximately 500 miles radius, and I wouldn't trade moisture/crop conditions with anybody else! I've seen too much moisture to the south, maybe a little too dry to the west, lack of wheat plantings to the east, and lack of moisture to the north.

- 2/21 - Cayuga County, N.Y.: We’ve had 36 inches of snow so far this winter. We have none on ground now and mid 40s this week. Should be around 120 inches by now normal year around 140. last year this time 160 inches and finished winter at 200 inches.
- 2/21 - Rapides Parish, La.: Wheat had 1 shot of fertilizer and with all the rain, still has a yellow tint to it. Received 16+ inches of rain in February. Little or no burndown on corn land done due to very wet conditions. Airplanes will be flying this week for sure. Good luck and be safe!

- 2/21 - East central Iowa: The little snow we have had so far this winter is gone (again). It has allowed everyone to move a lot of corn to town. Saturday and Sunday temps were in the 40-50F range. I don't think we are not short of moisture. We had fall rains that delayed our harvest when everyone else missed them. there may be a little more corn on corn, but with our soil, the poorer ground seems to do better with corn/soybean rotation(plus with no-till we don't dig up the rocks).and with the price of hay, there could be a little more seeded down.
- 2/21 - Falls and Milam counties, Texas: Since Nov. 22 2011, we have received 20 inches of rain. We should be planting corn right now, but it will be 10 days at least before we can get in the fields. We went from the worst drought in recent times to overabundant moisture in 3 months. If it dries up, at least we have plenty underground moisture for our crops.
- 2/21 - Alliance, Neb.: Wheat looked good for the most part going into winter. We have had very little moisture since Jan 1. No snow cover and lots of temp fluctuations and a few windy days. I pray we get some spring moisture! (Read more wheat-related comments at AgWeb's www.VirtualWheatTour.com)
