Duncan farming weather

Soil temperatures today read surface 26.3 °C, 6 cm 27.5 °C, 18 cm 27.5 °C, 54 cm 24.5 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.19 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.22 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.26 m³/m³. For maize, the root-zone reading is within the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Reference evapotranspiration totals 58 mm against only 33 mm of expected rain — a 26 mm deficit, so irrigation will be needed this week. A suitable spraying window opens around 11:00 on 2026-06-22, with winds at or below 15 km/h and no rain expected. Heat stress is likely for maize with highs reaching 38 °C (threshold 35 °C). Heat stress is likely for wheat with highs reaching 38 °C (threshold 32 °C). Projected growing degree days over the next week: maize 135, wheat 173.
