From soil to taxes: Your November farm management checklist
The National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center predicts temperatures will likely be above normal while precipitation will likely be below normal for the majority of Michigan, Indiana and Ohio from Nov. 11 to 17. Eric Snodgrass of Nutrien Ag Solutions said October was between the 92nd to 116th driest October of the past 134 years and the sixth through 11th warmest month, depending on the exact climate district of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. November temperatures are predicted to be above normal while precipitation will be normal to below normal since El Niño is here. Any talk of a polar vortex is gone, but there will still be some cold weather and snow. We still have not had a killing frost yet in southeast Michigan as of Nov. 4, which is defined as 28 degrees Fahrenheit or lower for more than two hours.
