Iowa Moisture Outlook Shows Varied Moisture Across Iowa
Iowa farmers may fare better than last year for spring seeding says Robert H. Shaw, climatologist at Iowa State College. Northeast Iowa and southern tier counties have the best subsoil moisture due to heavier fall winter and spring precipitation, while western and northwestern Iowa need more moisture. Corn needs about three inches monthly mid-April to mid-June with higher needs in July and August, prompting irrigation considerations. Yields correlate with moisture, averaging 48 bushels per acre where 17% to 20 inches were available versus 30 bushels or less with only 17 inches.
