Abstract

January in the Midwest, a portion of the calendar that conjures memories of bitter cold, biting winds, and often snow. The holiday season was, however, unusually warm and fell well short of those remembrances of winters past (see e.g., Kraker, January 4, 2024). According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), including the National Weather Service (NWS), the outlook for winter 2023-2024 will be impacted by the continuing grip of a strong El Niño system. The result is likely higher temperatures than normal across much of the U.S, but mixed impacts on precipitation: possibly wetter-than-normal in the south; drier-than-normal in the north, including less snow (Becker, December 13, 2023; Johnson, November 30, 2023; L’Heureux and Brettschneider, October 26, 2023; NOAA, NWS, November 16, 2023). In the previous article for this series, we discussed the background on nutrient losses from farming and the impacts of extreme precipitation on those losses (farmdoc daily, December 7, 2023). Today’s article dives deeper into the issue with a focus on phosphorus.
