Topsoil moisture is rated as three per cent surplus, 84 per cent adequate, 12 per cent short and one per cent very short.
Rainfall on cropland ranged from none to 83 mm reported in the Sonningdale area.
Most crop damage has been because of localized flooding, strong winds, hail and insects like aphids and grasshoppers.
There are also some reports of diseases in pulse crops.
