Slight Increase in Abnormally Dry Conditions Likely to Change After Sally

By Pam Knox
 
The latest Drought Monitor, released this morning, covers conditions through this past Tuesday, before Sally came onshore. It shows no drought in the region but some pockets of abnormally dry conditions scattered around the region. They contracted slightly in Georgia and expanded slightly in South Carolina. With the passage of Sally over parts of the dry area in the past few days, it is likely that some of those pockets will be removed from next week’s map, although not everywhere got a lot of rain. Clearly, we don’t expect drought to come back any time soon!

Seeding Winter Wheat near Oshkosh Nebraska

I am in the fie3ld with a farmer near Oshkosh Nebraska as he his no-till drilling winter wheat into a harvested corn field. In the video the farm is running their John Deere 9470RX tractor pulling a 42 foot wide Deere 1890C air drill with a 1910 commodity cart.

Winter wheat will emerge this fall and go dormant over the winter. In the spring it will stat growing again and be ready to harvest in mid July.
