These unirrigated #droughted #potatoes are using only 1mm/day. Result is heat stress in immature crops like this Lanorma. Loosing leaf area will further limit yield even if conditions improve. Our Satellite ground cover model is measuring this for #Crop4Sight customers.

Sometimes you wonder how some fields end up with their name. Not this one. This is “Stoney Lawn”.

Why haven't my #potatoes emerged yet ?
April 2020 mean temp 9.9C = emergence in 26 days (typical planting depth).
April 2021 mean temp 5.7C = emergence in 51 days.
Want to know what that does to your yield potential ? #Crop4Sight

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Eric Allen. We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for him and the mark he has left of the industry is difficult to put into words it is so significant. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Please rest in peace now.
