Warmer and Drier Than Normal Conditions Expected in December

 

The latest monthly outlook for December 2020 is now out from NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. It shows that all of the Southeast is expected to be warmer than normal and that most of the region is also likely to be drier than normal. This is consistent with our expectation of the continuing strong La Nina which is now affecting us. This general climate pattern is likely to persist over the winter, although there will be colder outbreaks from time to time, since after all, it will be winter.

 

 

Video: The Cost of Waiting: Early Weed Competition Explained

Weeds don’t wait — and neither should your weed control. Early-season weed competition can steal nutrients, water, and yield from corn starting day one. In this video, Mark Kitt, Technical Product Lead for Corn Herbicides at Syngenta, explains how small weeds can lead to real yield and ROI losses — and why a strong, overlapping residual herbicide program is critical to protect yield potential early. Learn why preventing weeds from emerging matters and how early control helps keep resources where they belong: with your crop.
