SYNOPSIS
Most of our field tiles still have very light discharge. Planting progress at 98%. Waiting on some organic growers to get finished up.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING BEST DESCRIBES CURRENT CONDITIONS IN THIS COUNTY?
Mildly Dry (soil is drier than normal, plant growth may have slowed)
IF CONDITIONS ARE ON THE DRY END, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING US DROUGHT MONITOR CATEGORIES BEST FIT CURRENT CONDITIONS
Moderate Drought (D1)
WEATHER
We’ve been unbelievably dry. We just received 1.5-3″ of rain and it soaked right up. We’ll need a few more timely versions of that rain over the next couple of months for sure as our sub-surface reserves are so low.
PRECIPITATION
The 1.5-3″ rain basically matches our last 60 day precipitation total.
FIELD/SOIL CONDITIONS
Will be back spraying in a day or two. Need more rain eventually.
FIELD ACTIVITIES
Just ran fungicide on wheat. Currently side dressing corn and spraying corn. Will be post spraying beans in one to two weeks. Had some decent hay making
