New Planting Forecast takes monitoring local planting conditions to the next level.
5-7-2026
It's encouraging to see some soil moisture and even more opportunity for rain in the forecast, now if we can get the temperature flags out of the way. Monitor the 'NEW' Local Cotton Planting Forecast that is updated by 6 am in 4 locations to better represent all of our planting area. The model that Danny Parker has developed for me uses my traditional philosophy, but creates a consensus of multiple weather forecasts. This smooths out the variability and has created a reliable predictor for conditions. As you will see, there are still analog comments by me in this digital report for some of my gut reactions, but I am very pleased with the results we've been getting an this has taken Agricultural prediction to the next level.
