Prepare for storms that push your farm to the limit

You can build a weather ready farm. By 3/17/2021 Strengthening your farm for the future is key as you battle weather extremes such as the 2019 bomb cyclone in Nebraska; the 2020 derecho across Iowa; hurricanes; sustained drought; or unseasonably cool, wet weather. The ultimate unknown is Mother Nature, but researchers like Gene Takle, professor emeritus of ag meteorology at Iowa State University, have studied climate change long-term and know its effects on farming. Absolute humidity and nighttime temperatures have increased in all seasons, Takle says. Because of these changes, the growing season is lengthened and more suited to planting seed with longer maturities. The advantage to farmers is higher yields. The increase in rainfall poses challenges during the most vulnerable seasons – spring and fall.
