Last week, I shared information on how our current dry weather pattern affects both agronomic crops and weed control strategies for the fall. This week, we will dive into the effects of the drought on lawns and how to best manage them when rainfall is lacking.
For most farmers, the weather has turned dry with corn and soybeans leaves drying down. A good August rain can add bushels to soybeans and help fill out the corn. While some farmers have received adequate rain this year, the weather patterns have been fickle. Most areas are in a drought now. It seems like the same areas get rain, perhaps too much at times while other areas get missed. A good explanation for this is that good growing crops that got early rain are transpiring more water into the atmosphere, generating more moisture in those areas. Whatever the reason, it can be exasperating for those lacking rain.
Dear Editor, I grew up in Ft. Jennings, and I go home as often as I can. I am writing you because I am afraid that many Putnam County residents will be voting Republican this fall simply because they always vote Republican, and that’s all there is to it.
