ELOY                Aug 28, 2005 
                           COTTON PLANTING DATE ADVISORY


   
  
    NOTE :
   
    An advisory for Eloy is not available due to problems with the station site.
    This station has been damaged by cattle numerous times in recent months.
    The resulting costs of labor, travel, repairs and replacement sensors
    have made this station too expensive to maintain.
   
    The site has degraded to the point where we are 
    no longer able to reliably collect accurate data. 
    AZMET is presently looking for a new site.
    If you can provide a new location for the station,
    please email us at: azmet@ag.arizona.edu 
  




   WEATHER UPDATE
--------------------------------
High pressure will dominate AZ weather for much of the week. Expect sunny and dry
conditions through mid-week with very hot temperatures. High pressure will weaken
and shift eastward during the last half of the week, bringing slightly cooler 
temperatures, an increase in humidity and a chance for widely scattered thunder-
storms in higher elevation areas.
      
Growers considering top crops due to delayed planting dates and/or severe heat
stress are encouraged to review the document on boll maturity dates located on
the AZMET website at http://ag.arizona.edu/azmet/cotton.htm
       
     This will be the final advisory for the 2005 cotton season. 
     AZMET will continue to provide heat stress advisories 
     and general weather information on its website.
     Have a safe and profitable harvest season !
