Well there's 8 days of data here instead of 7--with all of the rain lately it hardly matters. The precipitation amounts for Cherryfield in this table look a little low so I'll be checking that gauge next time I'm out there. Is the sun ever going to shine again?!!

Estimated Water Budget June 10-16, 2009
Ample rain this past week replenished the soil moisture throughout blueberry country. Smooth sailing for awhile.

Estimated water budget for June 3-9, 2009
In contrast to the previous week, there was little to no rain and a moderate amount of evapotranspiration at all sites for the week of June 3-9. Tensiometers and Watermark moisture probes at Blueberry Hill and other sites generally indicated that the soil was close to requiring irrigation. Due to the low temperatures and the high propability of precipitation forecast for the next few days I chose yesterday to postpone irrigation until the current front passes. I will be returning to Blueberry Hill on Friday to re-evaluate soil moisture conditions. Stay tuned.

Water budget for the week of May 27 to June 2
Lots of rain and not a whole lot of evapotranspiration this past week. Tensiometers on June 2 at Jonesboro, Deblois and Jonesport all indicated plentiful soil moisture.
