Arctic Blast Impact on Livestock and Crops

 

With the subzero temperatures behind us, there are still some questions about the impact it had on agriculture. United States Department of Agriculture Meteorologist Brad Rippey says it doesn't appear to have had a massive impact on livestock.

 

Rippey says they won't know the impact the weather had on wheat crops until the spring when the crop becomes vegetative again. Most of the sugar cane crop in Louisiana was harvested before the cold front, while the remaining crop received damage Rippey says much of it can still be harvested. There is still concern about the effect the weather had on citrus crops in Florida and Texas.
