Tillage will often dry out the soil surface

Interest Leans To Increased Irrigation

"Tillage will often dry out the soil surface as deep as two to three inches, but doesn't really affect the deeper moisture. Rainfall is the best choice for replenishing the shallow moisture early in the year, but irrigation may be required during the summer months.

"Supplemental irrigation is not typically needed until mid- to late June on most crops under normal rainfall conditions. However, it is never too early to prepare for irrigation even if it is early because it will be needed in July and August to meet crop demand."

Following is a sampling of the comments we received from people who voted in the August Web Poll.
