STEPHANIE PORTER UPDATES
There is a lot of fieldwork going on including planting. It is very, important to be on the lookout and cautious when driving because of the high number of farm equipment moving about the countryside. We are hoping to miss the rain today (if possible) to have a wider planting window, which has not been possible the last several weeks due to rain. I have been finding 3 to 7 black cutworm moths as well as 1 armyworm moth in traps this past week.
55 to 60F with cool nights (35F to 40F)
1.3 inches on 4-18-24
Dry enough for fieldwork until it possibly rains today

Most weeds are getting eliminated so that they can start clean for planting
