Red Deer farming weather

Soil temperatures today read surface 8.6 °C, 6 cm 10.1 °C, 18 cm 10.7 °C, 54 cm 10.7 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.35 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.34 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.35 m³/m³. For wheat, the root-zone reading is within the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Forecast rain (67 mm) roughly covers crop water demand (ET0 24 mm), so irrigation can likely be paused.
