Start Date: 7/8/2017 - End Date: 7/8/2017
For the month of June, this location received only 1.53" of rainfall. That amount is below average. For July to date, this location has received only 0.21" of rainfall while evaporating 1.32" of water(determined by evaporimeter). We would expect that the transpiration rate for plants would be less than the evaporimeter due to their physiological response to dry conditions. Corn and soybean plants are significantly stunted.
