The article reports on issues facing cotton farmers in Alabama, including the early-season dry weather and declining moisture. According to Alabama Cooperative Extension System cotton specialist Steve Brown, farmers continue planting despite the lack of rain that could affect the development of seedlings. Also cited is the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Prospective Planting report showing that Alabama growers aim to plant 420,000 acres with cotton.

Vehicle owners must watch a mandatory video explaining the capabilities of the system and how to engage and disengage the technology before Mercedes-Benz will activate Drive Pilot in the vehicle." California has become the second American state to allow Mercedes' Level 3 "hands-off, eyes off' autonomous tech Drive Pilot. When the circumstances allow Drive Pilot to take charge, the human driver is alerted and can cede control via buttons on the steering wheel. [Extracted from the article]

The article focuses on the condition of sorghum crops in Texas during the summer, and it highlights that they are faring well overall due to timely rains and minimal adverse weather conditions. It mentions that some regions in Texas experienced low numbers of pests like sugarcane aphids, stink bugs, and head worms, making it a relatively good year for sorghum. It discusses the impact of hot weather on sorghum and the importance of scouting for pests and managing weeds.

We're just a little bit behind right now, and we're certainly not in a panic situation", says Collins.Some see June 1 as the latest a grower can plant cotton and expect good results, but Collins sees some flexibility to that rule."With some of the earlier varieties, I don't think June 15 would be out of the question as a planting date", he says.Collins estimates that anywhere from 45 to 50 percent of Georgia's cotton is irrigated.The most challenging planting decisions during the early part of the planting window are often associated with dryland acreage, says Collins. In what should been one of the busiest planting times of the year, cotton seed remained in the sack in many parts of the lower Southeast as unseasonably hot, dry weather lingered over the region during the first half of May.Nearing the mid-May mark, University of Georgia Extension Cotton Specialist Guy Collins said his growers were about 20 percent planted, compared to a five-year average of 25 percent."We're in a holding pattern for planting cotton now, especially our dryland producers.

This article discusses the importance of proper cold weather layering for workers in order to protect them from health problems such as trench foot, frostbite, and hypothermia. While the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not have a specific rule for cold environments, employers are still responsible for ensuring hazard-free workplaces. OSHA recommends at least three layers of clothing, including an inner layer to keep moisture away from the skin, a middle layer for insulation, and an outer layer for protection from wind and rain. It is important for workers to monitor their physical condition, take regular breaks to warm up, and stay dry. The article also provides information about MSC & OMNIA Partners, which offers maintenance, repair, and operations products and services for various organizations. [Extracted from the article]

The article focuses on the impact of weather conditions on crop production in Western Oklahoma, with particular emphasis on wheat and cotton.

Traders will be watching the updated forecast as markets start the week with Argentina's weather as one of the primary drivers. On the other hand, if the weather pattern should pivot over the next month and bring more moisture throughout the region, prices could struggle to maintain their trend higher as traders reduce risk premium out of the market.

Vitamin A, readily available in green grass, is stored in the liver and can be pulled from the liver to produce colostrum, which starts about 5 weeks prior to calving. Drought across the Great Plains has greatly reduced the supply of grass available this grazing season. However, harvested feed reserves may be limited, and if drought conditions persist, cows may need additional feed resources to rebreed. [Extracted from the article]

E2 is quick to point out that climate change is not the sole cause of natural disasters, but climate trends are likely driving the frequency and severity of damaging events. In fact, the total tally of billion-dollar weather and climate disasters since 1980 is $2.2 trillion in infrastructure, buildings, road and crop losses. [Extracted from the article]

Besides Barr's sampling efforts, two continuous monitoring stations supported by the U.S. Geological Survey take readings in the stream every 15 minutes year-round. "The amount of sediment entering a stream during a rain event can indicate erosion", Couchman said. At one time, people who monitor water quality in streams in rural Indiana didn't think they needed to monitor streams after rain events during winter months. [Extracted from the article]

North Dakota is known for a few things to people who have never visited - our college football team (Go Bison!) and having cold winters. Random spring snowstorms can delay planting, cause muddy calving pens, bring bugs and just mean overall soggy land until the temperatures heat up. Usually, at the first sign of chilly weather in the fall, we're digging out our winter wardrobe and making sure our ice scrapers are in our cars. [Extracted from the article]

The article reports that South Texas cotton producers are taking a wait and see attitude as they watch temperatures and soil moisture and finish planting or replanting grain crops, and mid-February freeze damaged some early-planted crops from the Coastal Bend into the Rio Grande Valley. Topics include cotton farmers will wait another week to finish pre-irrigating; and lot of growers were still planting corn and grain sorghum.

In essence, AVs run an increased risk of detecting themselves in an incorrect position in extreme weather such as heavy rain, sleet or snow, which could affect sensors. A novel artificial intelligence system has been developed that allows autonomous vehicles (AVs) to navigate better in adverse weather. [Extracted from the article]

Markets were expecting a 97% completion rate for spring wheat harvest progress, but USDA's readings came up 1% short at 96% complete as early season delays continue to plague growers in North Dakota and Minnesota. Graph That's good news for corn, soybean, and spring wheat growers eager to make significant strides on harvest progress over the next two weeks. A Kentucky grower shared that the "first 70 acres (of the grower's harvest progress) made 211 bushels per acre dry and weighed.". [Extracted from the article]

Widespread kernel tip abortion meant an average of six fewer kernels per row, dropping the yield estimate by 37 bushels per acre. The yield estimate is: 17 × 38 = 646 kernels × 32 ears per acre = 20,672 kernels per acre. Estimating corn yields before harvest means pulling ears at random within a specified area, usually 1/1,000 of an acre, and evaluating them for number of rows of kernels per ear and number of kernels per row.

Preliminary August weather data suggests late season rains may have boosted yield potential back above the 52.2 bushel per acre statistical trend yield, La Niña or not. And even though forecasters predict the El Niño/Southern Oscillation will finally retreat to neutral next spring, an unusual third La Niña winter could disrupt winter wheat production on central and southern Plains fields already suffering from prolonged drought. Graph U.S. wheat crop at risk In the U.S., corn and soybean yields are most closely correlated with the summer ENSO cycle, benefiting from El Niño and suffering under La Niña.
