With spring in high gear, we've had several requests from area farmers for weather and climate data specific to agriculture.  Since the 3 minutes or so that we have on air are usually pretty jam packed as it is, the best way to convey that information most likely is through the web, so I have found a few links that you may find helpful if you don't already have access to this information. 

USDA Weekly Weather & Crop Bulletin:  http://www.usda.gov/oce/weather/pubs/Weekly/Wwcb/wwcb.pdf

Agriculture Online Weather  http://www.agriculture.com/ag/weather/index.jhtml?ordersrc=google4agweather_index&cobrandId=ww5&s_kwcid=agricultural%20weather|634005862 (Enter zip code for specific data)

NOAA Drought Monitor http://www.drought.noaa.gov/

Local NWS Almanac http://www.weather.gov/climate/locations.php?wfo=pah (Click on Paducah or Evansville, then click "GO" in yellow box for latest almanac report. Include soil temperature.)

Hope these are helpful.
