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 met

The lecture disputes the idea presented in the reading passage about cloud seeding as an effective approach to reduce the formation of hail and accordingly the damage to crops. The lecturer asserts that this technique does not work all the time and may cause other problems.

First of all the lecturer believes that cloud seeding may cause drought. The reading states that in laboratory experiments cloud seeding was effective to reduce hail formation by transforming it to snow. However, the lecturer states that cloud seeding has not only reduced the formation of hail, but also the formation of rain and snow. Thus, this procedure lead to dryness because of the lack of water.

The lecturer also states that we cannot generalize the effectiveness of this approach in all region. The author states that this approach was effective in reducing hail in Asia because of the interaction with pollutants in the air. However, The lecturer states that this same procedure may not hold true in some other regions where there are no pollution. For example,i n the US where the air the air is clear, this technique might be successful. He contends that pollutant particle in air may have interacted with silver iodide and cause a reduction in hail, which is not true if there are no pollutants.

Finally the lecturer argues that in local studies we observed less crops damage in vast geographic areas. According to the lecturer, this might not be solely due to the reduction in hail, but due to other natural factors that have contributed to the protection of crop, such as the use of fertilizers or pesticides.
