Springfield farming weather

Soil temperatures today read surface 23.1 °C, 6 cm 23.5 °C, 18 cm 25 °C, 54 cm 21.7 °C. Soil moisture sits at 0-1 cm at 0.12 m³/m³, 3-9 cm at 0.14 m³/m³, 27-81 cm at 0.23 m³/m³. For maize, the root-zone reading is below the ideal 0.2-0.35 m³/m³ band. Reference evapotranspiration totals 40 mm against only 10 mm of expected rain — a 30 mm deficit, so irrigation will be needed this week. A suitable spraying window opens around 06:00 on 2026-06-21, with winds at or below 15 km/h and no rain expected. Heat stress is likely for maize with highs reaching 36 °C (threshold 35 °C).
