Agronomist Report Says Cold Wave Shouldn't Impact Crops Already Planted

Thursday, April 20th, 2023 -- 8:01 AM

(Wisconsin Ag Connection) According to a recent agronomist report, the recent cold wave that hit the state is not expected to have a major impact on crops that have already been planted.

According to the Wisconsin Ag Connection, despite some concerns that the sudden drop in temperatures could harm newly planted crops, the agronomist believes that the overall impact will be minor.

The report cites a number of factors that are helping to mitigate the effects of the cold wave, including the fact that many crops have already begun to emerge and are less susceptible to frost damage.

In addition, the report notes that farmers in the area have taken steps to protect their crops, such as covering them with tarps or using irrigation to help regulate soil temperature.

Despite these measures, the report does caution that some crops may still be at risk, particularly those that have not yet emerged from the ground. However, the overall outlook for the state's agriculture industry remains positive, with many farmers expected to continue planting as usual in the coming weeks.

While the recent cold wave in Wisconsin may cause some concern for farmers in the area, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on the state's agriculture industry as a whole. With proper preparation and care, crops are expected to weather the cold snap and continue to grow as planned.
