ignore the problems of mentally

Farm Weather Reporting
Farmers may some day receive
special kinds of weather reports.
Wisconsin scientists are trying to
find ways to measure the amount
of water given off to the air and
evaporated by plant processes,
SO it can be compared to the
amount of moisture put into the
soil and serve as an indicator for
irrigation needs. They also are
working on instruments that
would measure and record soil
temperature, dew fall and wind
velocities. Researchers believe
there's a need for specialized
farm weather reporting because
present reports are not always
suitable for farm Interpretation.
For instance, wind velocities are
usually measured considerably
