Crop Water Use

This Report is brought to you by the Lower Loup Natural Resources District using data from the High Plains Regional Climate Center.

These crop water use predications are based partly on the water use of the last three days, but mostly on the historic average.  If the current weather forecast differs much from these, be sure to adjust the water use predictions.  Values are for 2500 growing degree day corn and 2400 growing degree day for soybeans.  To use this information, your fields should be within 60 miles of the weather station listed, and at the stage of maturity.
