WATCH: Do Water Temperatures Correlate with Soil Temperatures? – Part Two

BY DAIRYLAND SEED
Agronomy 2021

In this video Brian Weller, Dairyland Seed western region agronomist, records soil temperatures to see if they correlate with regional water temperatures and he also looks at current frost levels. As of March 23, soil temperatures at 2 and 8 inches deep were around 28 degrees F. After digging a hole 19 inches deep, he reveals frost is only present within the first two inches, which indicates we are getting closer to the frost being out.  Learn more about ice-out dates and spring preparation from Part One and Part Three of this video series.

  • Crop Bulletin: Nitrogen Fertilizers and Stabilizers for Corn Production
    Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is a critical input in corn production. One of the most challenging aspects of successfully managing nitrogen is the fact that nitrogen from fertilizer can be lost from the soil before the corn crop is able to take it up. Under prolonged wet field conditions and warm temperatures, nitrogen can be lost either by leaching – the downward movement of nitrates below the root zone, or denitrification – loss to the atmosphere caused by reactions in the soil under anaerobic conditions.
