Frustrations with extreme weather events are as old as farming. No amount of planning prevents drought, excessive rain or heat, untimely frost, or the lasting economic impact these weather events can create when they devastate yield.
Fortunately, new programs and technologies are available that help lessen economic blows when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
The Limitations of Preparation
Jeremy Goyings, a fifth-generation operator on Goyings Farms in Paulding, Ohio, knows that there are limits to the ways he can proactively hedge against unexpected weather.
“We can do a lot to try and mitigate the risks involved with weather,” he says. “We can practice tillage that promotes deep banding of roots so they suck up as much water from the depths as they possibly can, but in the end, Mother Nature has the final say on whether we get enough water to produce a crop.”
Nearly 50 miles north of Goyings Farms, Nathan Baker of Border View Farms in Waldron, Michigan, echoes this sentiment. With weather as a prominent profit driver, he notes that drainage tiles help mitigate the impact of heavy rains, but they don’t help during drought.
