Rain Lifts Area Crops but Drought Fears Persist
Winter Monday's three inch rainfall brought relief to area crops though further rain is needed. Soybeans vary from eight inches to two feet tall due to inconsistent rainfall and late planting. Potassium uptake suffers from dry soil, while herbicide effectiveness declines. Farmers face salvage treatments that burn leaves and weeds. Bozworth warns of corn earworm in grain sorghum and wheat curl mite in volunteer wheat, plus the need to water livestock and protect trees from winter kill as fall nears.
