Cooling Trend

Posted: 24 Apr 2012 05:57 AM

Back in March, our soil temperatures were well above average thanks to our record warm conditions. Since then, we have cooled around ten degrees and are hovering at the critical value of 50 degrees needed for corn crop development. While the next few days will be warm, another cool period is expected into the weekend with highs back in the lower 50s and low temperatures in the 30s and 40s. The warm weather in March will be mostly for naught as our growing season gets off to a slow start.
