# Planting window go or wait

For one field, given as a point or polygon, and one crop. The field geometry feeds every call.

## 1. What already happened

1. Read the last 21 days with @[ACIS · Daily weather history](alexandria:rcc-acis-org/weather-history/daily_weather_history) (gdd_base_f 50 for corn, adjust for the crop): total rain, wet days, the longest dry spell and GDD accumulated.
2. Cross-check with the nearest real gauge: find it with @[ACIS · Nearby stations](alexandria:rcc-acis-org/weather-history/nearby_stations) and read @[ACIS · Station daily history](alexandria:rcc-acis-org/weather-history/station_daily_history). Gridded rain can miss a local storm.

## 2. What the soil can take

3. Read root-zone wetness for the same window with @[NASA POWER · Soil moisture](alexandria:power-larc-nasa-gov/weather-history/soil_moisture) and compare with the field's normal for the month from @[NASA POWER · Climate normals](alexandria:power-larc-nasa-gov/weather-history/climate_normals). Wet soils compact; dry soils hurt emergence.

## 3. What is coming

4. Read @[National Weather Service · Forecast daily](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/forecast_daily) for the next seven days: rain per day, highs and lows. Look for a frost night or a heavy rain within 48 hours of planting.
5. Check @[National Weather Service · Alerts active](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/alerts_active) for frost, freeze or flood alerts on the field.

## Write the call

- **Call:** go, wait or partial-go, with the deciding factor.
- **Conditions:** rain last 21 days, gauge versus grid, soil wetness versus normal, GDD.
- **Forecast risk:** days with rain or frost, by date.
- **Recheck:** the date to look again if the call is wait.
- **Sources:** cite every figure to the capability and record it came from. Say what could not be found rather than guessing.
