Hail—pieces of ice that form and fall from clouds instead of snow or rain—has always been a problem for farmers in some areas of the United States
The article introduces the topic of cloud seeding, which is the chemical silver iodide sprayed on storm clouds to produce harmless rain or snow and prevent hails from occurring to protect crops. The writer says that several reasons suggest that cloud seeding has been effective in protecting crops from hail. The lecturer disagrees. She says that the pieces of evidence are not clear, and there are reasons to question them.
First, the author says that laboratory experiments have supported the idea that when silver iodide is added to the cold water vapor, it had prevented hail from happening. The professor believes that laboratory results may be true. However, it can prevent anything from happening, which is bad, and it can cause drought and lack of water in the area.
According to the writer, in some Asian countries, cloud seeding has been successfully used to control precipitation in urban areas. The speaker, on the other hand, points out that the same results may not be repeated in different countries. She goes on to say that polluted cities have particles in their atmosphere that can be favorable to decrease hail, yet it may not work in unpolluted farming regions.
Also, the reading passage notes how local studies indicated that cloud seeding was beneficial for reducing hail damage in a farming region in the central United States. The professor rebuts this argument. She says that hail damage not only decreases in that area but also was lessened in adjacent areas, which is more likely because of natural variation of local weather, not the cloud seeding.
