Warm Weather Returns After Weekend Rains

By Gary Stone

Temperatures will remain high throughout the middle of this week, and there are better chances of precipitation for the weekend. Crops continue to do well.

“The second cutting of alfalfa is near completion, and winter wheat harvest should conclude for most of the Panhandle this week,” said Gary Stone, Nebraska Extension water and cropping systems educator.

Irrigation water deliveries continue across the North Platte Valley, with Pathfinder and Goshen/Gering-Fort Laramie irrigation districts diverting approximately 1,535 cfs and 1,400 cfs, respectively.

Assisting growers with monitoring their crop's water profile is the estimated crop water use for July 22-28.
