Jesup, IA | The Iowa State climatologist says that my area in Black Hawk County is 50 inches below normal precip in the past three growing seasons.
Last year we only received 8 inches of rain from planting to harvest. For the year we were 20 inches below normal on precipitation, and 10 inches above on transpiration, making for a 30 inch deficit for the growing season.
Thus far this year, my weather station shows we received 1.64 inches of precip. Mostly in the form of a third week of January snowstorm. The differs from the source that indicated that Black Hawk County Iowa had 3 inches of precip so far this year.
We are epic dry.
