Western Research and Demonstration Farm
Authors: Joel L. DeJong (Iowa State University) , Paul C. Kassel (Iowa State University)
Soil moisture samples were taken at 17 sites in northwest and west central Iowa between October 28 and November 3, 2020. Moisture samples were taken at 1-ft increments down to a 5-ft depth. Samples were weighed, oven dried and reweighed at the Northwest Research Farm, Sutherland, Iowa. The moisture percentage was calculated from these data, and then used to calculate the inches of plant available moisture in the soil. The data from these sites are listed in Table 1.
