Summary
A link to the ISU Soil Moisture Network website. Iowa State University
maintains a network of observation stations located primarily at the Research
and Demonstration Farms, but also at cooperating locations. Data from this
network dates back to 1986! The stations comprising the network has changed
over the years with a complete network replacement started during 2012.
