This Historically Cold April Might Mean Lower Yields
The Corn Belt has been experiencing unusually cold weather since late March. While meteorologists predict this cold spell to end before May 1, the damage to your yields could already be done.
According to Mike Tannura of T-Storm Weather, there’s a strong correlation between historically cold April months and below trend yields. On Monday, Tannura told AgriTalk After The Bell host Chip Flory that April 2018 will go down as one of the three coldest Aprils since 1895.
“Based on the data we’re looking at today, there’s a chance it could be the coldest of the entire period going back to 1895,” he said.
