Estimated Water Budget May 20-26

As illustrated by the table below, the rain forecast for the next couple of days will help replenish soils that were beginning to dry. Tensiometer values in Deblois and Jonesboro were near -15 cb yesterday. We irrigate the sandy loam soils in our experimental plots at Blueberry Hill Farm when the tensiometer values there reach -20 cb, so we were getting close to a relatively early-season irrigation.
