Weekly precipitation was a trace. Weekly low temps: 64,53,50,57,61,50,45. Highs 88,73,63,85,86,77,64. The week started last Sunday with a very warm day with sunny and windy conditions (SW wind). Monday was sunny and windy from the North as the first front of the week came through. Tuesday was cloudy with sprinkles all day and not much wind. Wednesday was mostly sunny with a return to a South wind. Thursday was sunny with a strong South wind. Friday began with a South wind that changed to the North around noon as our second front of the week passed through. Very gusty North winds to near 40 caused a lot of blowing dust Friday afternoon and overnight. Saturday brought a NE wind that relaxed as the day progressed. Synopsis for the week: very dry, windy and sunny (except for Tuesday) conditions the entire week. This was the first week we have been in the field this year as we began planting corn and beans Tuesday, March 24, 2026 (the sprinkle showers did not keep us out of the field). It is the driest I have ever witnessed for this time of year. All the beans we have planted will not sprout until we get a rain due to how dry the soil is. Even at two inches depth with our corn seed, the ground is still not cool and gummy like usual. Therefore, I have selected the "Moderately Dry" category for this week.
