| Impact Report | Soil Temperatures For years, the Chaves County Extension Office has performed a public service for the area by monitoring and publicizing soil temperatures in the spring to advise farmers on temperatures for planting. Gardeners and other home owners are now interested in this information and our office fields numerous phone calls about soil temperatures during the spring time. Six area farmers take soils temperatures each morning, Monday through Friday, for about 4 weeks, and call those temperatures into the office so that the numbers can be averaged and sent to the local media. The information is sent to 4 radio companies, 2 TV stations, and 1 newspaper. The information is also posted on our extension office website, along with historical data from the past three years. |
