The growing season started above normal for growing degree days and then paralleled the 30-year normal accumulation pattern through April and May. Over the last couple of weeks during June, growing degree accumulation has increased compared to the normal.
Precipitation in northern Wisconsin is comparable to the 30-yr normal. But, in southern Wisconsin accumulated precipitation is below normal and approaching some of driest years recorded (1976, 1988, 1989, and 2005). The southern four tiers of Wisconsin counties are most affected. Other parts of the Midwest Corn Belt have seen rain showers move in east-west bands, so drought stressed fields are more random. Fields with no water stress are often located near fields showing significant water stress.
We need rain soon. Corn is heading into pollination and potential grain yield will be determined soon after fertilization takes place following pollen shed and silk emergence. For more information on weather patterns of previous years, click here.

My Person recently found this amazing site and of course studied most of the writings.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the writing style as well
as each of the articles are formatted. I bookmarked your site in order to come across it much better at a later date.
At this moment I want to tell you a bit about our internet site, that may
be certainly extremely relevant for your topic.
You'll see it is about corn food and its threats and good aspects that it can have for the human body. Furthermore, you can see writings which take a look at diet programs without maize, which is then important for the people who are suffering through sensitivity. I have in mind that the theme isn’t the very best, but I can assure the information is detailed as well as valid. I think that could be the most important part regarding to a site. There are certainly plenty of sites that look really good, but then may not provide any kind of advice on it. From time to time a few of the given advise is untrue. This is critical concerning healthcare related resources. Anyways, maybe we are able to stay in interaction. I will go to your website often, so please dont pause your new updates. English is not at all my number 1 language, I fairly wish that you could maybe read my comment.
