This Report is brought to you by the Lower Loup Natural Resources District using data from the High Plains Regional Climate Center via the Nebraska Agricultural Water Management Network. Precipitation data is acquired using a combination of NeRain and Nebraska Mesonet maps and reports. Crop ET data is acquired through the GDD & ET CALCULATOR via Cropwatch from the University of Nebraska- Lincoln.
Below are precipitation data reports and average crop water use of area corn, soybeans, and potatoes over the past week. Precipitation data will be updated every day throughout the growing season and ET data will be updated every Wednesday through the growing season. This data uses an May 10- May 28 planting timeline to determine crop growth stages. Growing Season (Accumulated) precipitation is calculated from May 10th to the end of the growing season.
To use this information, your fields should be within 60 miles of the weather station listed, and at the listed stage of maturity.
