Late-winter U.S. agriculture faces rapid swings: intermittent rain/snow, brisk post-frontal winds, and patchy frost from the Southeast to western valleys. Fieldwork windows are short and regional. Watch West Coast storm-track pulses, Gulf-front showers/storms, and Southern High Plains fire weather. Protect blooming crops and livestock; consult local NWS forecasts.
On-the-go soil sensors mounted on planters map soils in real time, calibrated with lab cores to guide variable-rate seeding, nitrogen, lime, and planter downforce. Fusing EC/EMI, vis–NIR, gamma, and compaction data improves input efficiency, yield stability, and sustainability, with payback in 1–3 seasons despite moisture, residue, and calibration challenges.
U.S. farm policy this week centers on securing funding, negotiating farm-nutrition packages, and clarifying environmental, water, and trade rules. Expect congressional oversight, draft text, USDA and EPA updates, and trade signals. Producers watch crop insurance, conservation enrollments, compliance guidance, biofuels incentives, and export data shaping risk management and planting decisions.
U.S. ag weather features scattered central U.S. storms and seasonable to cooler north; South stays warm, humid with daily convection. Expect 0.5–1.5+ inches along a midweek frontal corridor, otherwise light West/PNW precip. Impacts: intermittent harvest delays, late-week drying windows, disease upticks, fire-weather concerns, high evapotranspiration south, isolated valley frost.
Late-summer U.S. farm weather features warm-to-hot conditions, scattered thunderstorms, and periodic fronts across the Northern Tier and Midwest. Next week brings intermittent showers with dry windows for harvest, continued irrigation demand Plains/West, daily storms Southeast/Delta, generally dry PNW/California, localized fire-weather concerns, and close monitoring of peak-season tropical threats.
U.S. farm weather features late-summer fronts sparking scattered storms from the Plains into the Midwest/Great Lakes, while the Southern Plains and Southwest stay hot and mostly dry. Gulf/Southeast see daily storms; the West remains largely dry. Next week brings periodic fronts, rebuilding warmth, and a low‑to‑moderate tropical moisture risk.
Early September U.S. ag outlook: heat persists in Southern Plains/Delta/Southeast; periodic fronts cool and dry the Northern Plains, Upper Midwest, Corn Belt, and Northeast with scattered storms. West stays dry, breezy. Expect uneven rainfall, brief harvest windows post‑front, elevated heat/fire risks, and tropical rainfall potential along Gulf/Atlantic.
U.S. ag weather features late-summer heat and scattered, hit-or-miss thunderstorms. Plains and Midwest see periodic fronts, uneven rain, and several fieldwork windows; the South stays hot, humid with daily storms. West largely dry and hot. Risks include heat stress, localized heavy rain/severe storms, brief fire danger, modest late-week cool-downs.
Early September brings heat in Plains and California, scattered storms from Southern Plains through Corn Belt, Southeast; West mostly dry with fire/smoke concerns. Next week: periodic fronts north, daily thunder chances central/south, West stays dry. Risks include heat stress, localized heavy rain, isolated severe storms, and tropical threats.
Early September brings shifting fronts, regional contrasts, and uneven rainfall. Use 24-48 hour windows, protect crop quality, manage heat, tropical, severe, fire, and early chill risks, and prep equipment, irrigation, and drainage. Northern frost pockets and Southern humidity persist. Consult NWS and Extension for real-time forecasts.
Late-summer agriculture faces heat across the southern tier and Plains, scattered but uneven storms from the Northern Plains through the Corn Belt, Delta and East, and dry Western conditions except monsoon pockets. Expect variable fieldwork windows; manage heat, disease, and irrigation. Monitor flash flooding, severe storms, wildfire, and tropical threats.
