Hot soils

Posted: 06 Jul 2012 05:52 AM

Our recent stretch of sunny days, hot temperatures, and mostly dry conditions have elevated soil temperatures to some of the warmest recorded by the ISU AgClimate network. The featured chart presents the warmest average daily four inch depth soil temperature for the Ames site since its installation back in 1986. It is possible that temperatures will warm even more as we are not yet to their climatological peak in August.
