A weather expert says the soaking rains of the past week should not cause problems with fall fertilizer applications.
Eric Snodgrass with Nutrien Ag Solutions tells Brownfield the subsoil has been very dry and still has room to absorb moisture. He’s not concerned about fertilizer loss based on the long-range forecast. “I don’t anticipate there being just, you know, a deluge of rain that’s nonstop, and the reason for that is, if we were worried about that occuring, it would all be due to placing a massive ridge of high pressure over the Southeast.”
Snodgrass says a southeastern high-pressure system is what brought last week’s slow-moving soaker through much of the U.S.
