More on Agriculture

As of yesterday, the soil temperature in Slater Iowa at two inches below the surface was 36.0 degrees F. The 10 year average of temperature on this date is 50.6 degrees F. Corn requires a minimum of 50 degrees to germinate, but it's better if it's higher than that.
The cold weather has added another risk to the crop. If the crop can only get in late, it will be at risk for an early frost. Until the weather turns, I will buy any dip.
