Warm Weather Finally Arrives in Indiana
Indiana Ag Connection - 06/02/2020
While a relatively dry week allowed for fieldwork in most areas, scattered rain events kept some already wet fields saturated, according to USDA NASS, Great Lakes Regional Field Office. Soil moisture levels decreased from the previous week, but remained higher than the five-year average.
The average temperature for the week was 70.2 degrees Fahrenheit, 4.8 degrees above normal for the State. The amount of rainfall varied from none to 2.57 inches over the week. The statewide average precipitation was 0.89 inches. There were 3.6 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Sunday.
Warm and relatively dry weather last week allowed for corn and soybean plantings to steadily progress, though some areas remained too wet for fieldwork. Replanting of some flooded fields and frost damaged crops was reported. Winter wheat conditions improved slightly last week, aided by the warmer weather and sufficient moisture levels. Hay cuttings were in full swing. Livestock were reported to be in good condition, with pasture conditions improving slightly from the previous week. Other activities for the week included fertilizer and herbicide applications, field scouting, brush removal, and certifying acres with FSA.
