Soil Temperature

Soil temperature is averaging around 45 degrees Fahrenheit still. This is an acceptable level to plant sugar beets yet but too cool for corn. This weekend looks to bring some low temperatures to the area again and may dip below freezing. The long range forecast shows next week to warm up and should provide a good week of planting conditions. We will continue to monitor the soil temperature. We don't want to chance the corn seed rotting out in the soil due to low soil temperatures.
