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. Hail pellets can fall with great force and destroy crops in the field. Over the last few decades, a method of reducing hail, called “cloud seeding,” has been tried.
The article states that "cloud seeding" is a way used for spraying iodide on storm clouds from an airplane. This method is very beneficial and protects crops from hail's negative effects. However, the professor disagrees with this idea because of three main reasons.
First, the reading claims that the laboratory experiments show that hail usually forms in freezing water vapor, and when experimenters in the laboratory added silver iodide to cold water, they observed light snow instead of hails. However, the professor refutes this idea by saying that in this condition water vapor does not just make light snow it can have a negative impact like drought and it is damaged crops because of lack of water.
Second, the article posits that the evidence from Asia shows that point cloud seeding used as a successful method for controlling the precipitation in urban areas had a positive result in Asia; so it can have the same results in the US. In contrast, the professor says that the results shown in Asia cannot be the same as results in the US, because, in Asia, it used only in an urban areas, where the air pollution provides a suitable condition for it so it probably not work in the unpolluted fields in the US.
Finally, the passage claims that the local studies show the effectiveness of cloud seeding. However, the professor opposes this point by saying that a decrease in hail appeared is it not only happened in cloud seeding area, it also happened in other neighboring areas. So it more likely this was a result of natural variation in local weather not an effect of cloud seeding.
