North Dakota is so cold, even electrons have stopped moving. #ndwx #ndtourism

Minimums so far this morning. Unfortunately, numerous Sierra Wireless modems have failed in the cold this morning. Stations are still collecting data, meaning, all minimums may have to wait until later today to be collected. #ndwx #mnwx #mtwx

Questions about fall-applied nitrogen coming in. Soil temperatures in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota (@NDAWNmesonet) are still too warm for anhydrous ammonia or urea, with weekend forecast looking even warmer. Wait to apply nitrogen to reduce potential losses.

General rules for fall-applied nitrogen in North Dakota: 1) After October 1 2) Soil temperature at 4 inches below 50 °F in morning If yes to both, okay for anhydrous ammonia. Wait one week for banded urea. Wait two weeks for broadcast urea.

Did soybean iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) seem worse in 2022? Well, the average soybean variety in the @NDSUPlantSci soybean IDC trials scored 3.5; that is bright yellow leaves with brown speckling. ag.ndsu.edu/varietytrials/so…

This is my plea to soybean breeders and seed companies that soybean IDC tolerance must be a higher priority. In the upper Midwest and northern Great Plains, 40 to 60% of soils present high soybean IDC risk; we need stronger varieties. agvise.com/wp-content/upload…

SO BASICALLY YOU TAKE SOIL SAMPLES FROM YOUR FIELDS AND SEND THEM TO A LAB THAT TELLS YOU WHAT THE NUTRIENT CONCENTRATIONS ACTUALLY ARE TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ON NUTRIENT AMOUNTS TO APPLY SO YOU AREN’T JUST GUESSING. THERES EVEN ASSISTANCE AND FREE EDUCATION ON HOW TO DO IT!
