The Climate Prediction Center summer forecast favors a tendency for a warmer-than-normal summer for much of the crop production area. Farmers Business Network Regional Agronomist Mitchel Roth warns that warm, dry conditions don’t always mean crops will be disease or pest-free. “It really depends on the diseases that are in your area.” Roth said preparing for shifting weather patterns won’t help if farmers don’t consider their field conditions. “Nobody knows your fields quite like you do. You know your disease pressure, you know your low spots. It’s going to depend on timing and your budget.”
