Not helping the soils much

Posted: 22 Apr 2011 05:48 AM

Our recent stretch of cool and cloudy weather has cooled off soil temperatures to well below normal values for this time of year as illustrated by the featured chart. Normal temperatures are approaching 50 degrees, which is warm enough to support corn growth. With temperatures this year well below that value, it will take a few warm and sunny days to get the ground warmed up again and also dried out to allow equipment to pass over fields.

Good = 26
