Cooler nighttime temperatures in the 50s through the end of this week and next will continue to slow development of pod maturity. Much of the state will see days within this period mid next week that are projected to warm into the low 80s or upper 70s, which will somewhat help to continue development at a slow rate. Based on the current extended forecast, which can change, growing temperatures will further deteriorate after about 2 weeks from now, when the chance of sustained lows in the 40s are anticipated. For dryland fields with near/borderline maturity and hard soils, digging not long after a rain within this time would be my preference compared to waiting an extra week when conditions are slow moving. Fields with lighter land have some more flexibility, but in both cases the end of the season is drawing nearer. For fields planted mid-June (or if later) that are further away from being near maturity, the balancing tightrope much beyond two weeks from now will largely be strung between canopy crop health and increasing risk of frost as we move into November.
