During the first few days of May, heavy precipitation was scarce and mostly limited to the upper Great Lakes region and the Northeast. However, portions of the upper Great Lakes States received heavy snow, while some Northeastern locations received rainfall totaling at least 2 to 4 inches Ap…
Midwestern farm states are experiencing a gradually lengthening growing season, which can have a variety of impacts for agriculture.
The last in a series of winter-like storms punched inland across the West before crossing the central Plains and upper Midwest during the week of April 2-8, according to the April 11 USDA Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin.
Growing crops in a changing climate is difficult enough. But when weeds factor in, soybean yields take a massive hit. That’s according to new research from the University of Illinois and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, and it means farmers will need to ach…
Weather-associated production risk is an inherent factor in farmers’ and ranchers’ everyday business environment. Through heavy rain, hail, snow, winds and drought, farming families prepare land, plant and harvest knowing their livelihoods are reliant on local weather conditions.
Climate change isn’t just making the world warmer. It’s also changing when and how much rain falls. That leaves more corn farmers at risk of facing drought during part of the growing season.
Plant scientists are in a race against the clock to find more sustainable farming options. The answer may lie with perennial corn, says Kyle Swentowsky, a postdoctoral researcher at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York state.
Crumpled grain bins, flattened corn fields, flooded buildings and parched earth mark the haggard faces of worried farmers when extreme weather strikes.
The water levels on major Midwestern rivers are a key issue for farmers, whether they threaten flooding or present situations like last fall when low water levels on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers threatened the movement of grain and other supplies.
Heavy snow and mid-winter moisture have helped ease drought conditions, but large chunks of the Corn Belt remain very dry.
A move away from La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean, replaced by either neutral conditions or a move toward El Niño, could result in favorable summer weather for growing crops, University of Missouri atmospheric sciences professor Tony Lupo says.
Ice sheeting can have a lethal effect on forage crop stands. Typically, ice sheeting occurs on poorly drained areas of a field where water congregates, but it can occur over an entire field. Ice sheets form following freezing of standing water resulting from melting of snow or from rainfall …
The past three years have been dominated by a La Niña weather pattern, but models are showing that may finally be coming to an end.
