Frequent Rain Chances This Week

 

The latest 7-day QPF map shows that chances of rain continue almost every day for the next week. The driest areas will be in Alabama and Georgia, but even those area will see some occasional showers. Farther east, rain chances will be more frequent and heavy. Late in the week rain amounts are likely to ramp up along the coastal plains. Tropical Storms Josephine and Kyle are not expected to affect the Southeast at all. No other tropical activity is expected to develop in the next five days, but a wave coming off of Africa will be something to watch by the end of the week as we move into the heart of the Atlantic tropical season.

 

Video: predictive weed Management saves on herbicide costs and increases yield potential

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
