Hail suppression efforts deemed worthwhile by experts
Colorado State University engineer Richard Schleusener led a panel of cattlemen and local officials in assessing cloud seeding results. He said precipitation likely rose five to ten percent overall, with some cases showing reduced hail intensity and others showing no change. May to July varied in effectiveness, and no clear confidence assessment could be drawn from incomplete observations. No decision yet for next year. Alaska’s flag designed by 13 year old Benny Benson is noted, followed by a subscription reminder.
