Abnormally Dry Conditions Expand Slightly

By Pam Knox
 
The latest Drought Monitor shows that at this time there is no drought in the Southeast (not a big surprise after all our rain) but abnormally dry conditions in western Alabama and eastern Georgia have expanded. I expect the dry conditions in western Alabama to go away after Hurricane Delta moves onshore tomorrow and brings a swath of rain across LA, MS, and AL before moving to the northeast and weakening to a post-tropical depression. I am not looking forward to my drive from Ohio to Georgia on Sunday through all that rain!

Wheat Yield Estimation

Video: Wheat Yield Estimation

Farmers have long relied on tried-and-true methods like counting wheat stands and spikes to gauge early- or mid-season crop productivity. But those methods can be time-consuming and don't always fit well with today's high-yielding wheat varieties. Now, new technologies like image-based tools and spectral reflectance techniques are helping producers estimate yield more quickly and accurately.
