The featured plot is daily solar radiation (red) and average 4 inch soil temperatures (black) for April from the Ames ISUAG station. Recent sunny days and warm air advection has helped to rapidly warm soil temperatures to levels acceptable to begin corn planting! Allthough it is now warm enough, recent rains have made most fields too wet to plant. This week looks to be about average for temperatures with chances of rain most every day.
