North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network (NDAWN) a wealth of information

A new link that was just recently added under the heading "links to other agricultural sites" on this blog will take you to the North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network (NDAWN) web site. From this site, not only can you receive weather data, but you can also choose various crops grown in the area and get more information about them.

For example, if you were to click on barley, you would find information on the growing degree days accumulated for your area and a tool to predict the growth stage of the plant. Other crops on the site also have disease prediction models, insect infestation predictions and an area where you can create an account and use an irrigation scheduler. To find NDAWN's web site, go to http://ndawn.ndsu.nodak.edu.
