U.S. Hard Red Wheat To Be Stressed Again By Cold

Kansas City, April 3 (World Weather Inc.) – Weather conditions have been anything, but settled this year in U.S. hard red winter wheat production areas. Wild temperature swings, extremely dry conditions, blowing dust and a few bouts of light rain and snow have been reported. The drought conditions have been most disturbing because with that has come some very dry and warm conditions recently and now there is a good chance for hard freezes to occur Sunday across most of the production region. The freezes will just be one more bout of stress that this year’s crop has had to endure, but with it will be some potential for minor damage to recent growth that may act as a deterrent against normal plant development until rain and warming returns again. The best news for the region, though, is that rain and snow will precede the cold and that will provide the potential for crop improvement once the cold passes.

Argentina Summer Crops To Benefit From Net Drying

Kansas City, April 3 (World Weather Inc.) – Waves of rain were noted in Argentina during the past week and the resulting moisture should be enough to maintain a good environment for aggressive late-season coarse grain, oilseed, cotton, and other crop development. Maturation and harvesting of early season crops may have advanced slowly at times because of rain, though quality impacts were suspected of being minimal. Drier-than-normal weather is now slated for the main production areas through the middle of next week and should favor late season crop development as well as support improving maturation and harvest conditions
