Nebraska farmer welcomed precipitation
Weekend rain and snow brought three-quarters of an inch of precipitation to Mark Jagels’ farm in south-central Nebraska. Jagels says it was very welcome.
“I would say here in south central Nebraska we’re extremely dry,” Jagels says. “We had some moisture there at the last part of harvest—but we really didn’t have any over the winter.”
Jagels says his topsoil was extremely dry, “up to maybe six to eight inches, even in the no-till stuff.”
Once it dries off and warms up a bit, Jagels says he’ll be ready to plant corn.
“I still think probably the opportune time on corn is still that 18th through the 25th—so we’ve still got a good timeframe.”
Jagels says the temperature at his place near Davenport dipped to 23 degrees this morning.
