Saikū farming weather

Soil temperatures today read surface 20 °C, 6 cm 21.8 °C, 18 cm 22.8 °C, 54 cm 21.1 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.33 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.34 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.37 m³/m³. For wheat, the root-zone reading is within the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Forecast rain (50 mm) roughly covers crop water demand (ET0 19 mm), so irrigation can likely be paused. A suitable spraying window opens around 05:00 on 2026-06-23, with winds at or below 15 km/h and no rain expected. Projected growing degree days over the next week: wheat 126, maize 88.
