The featured chart presents daily four inch depth soil temperatures from the ISU Ag Farm west of Ames. The red line shows the 2024 observations with the tan bars representing the range over the period of record and green bars showing the range between the 25th and 75th percentiles. The black line is a simple daily mean with this year's value recently tracking along with climatology. Soil temperatures certainly have not been a factor with slowing spring planting progress. The persistent recent rainfalls have and look to continue this week.
