Across the Corn Belt, widespread showers accompany a strong cold front, which currently stretches from Lake Huron into the lower Ohio Valley. The rain is disrupting fieldwork, including harvest activities, which until recently had been advancing with few delays. In the front’s wake, chilly, breezy weather covers the western Corn Belt.
On the Plains, cool, dry, breezy weather prevails. Freezes were noted Monday morning in parts of southeastern Wyoming and northeastern Colorado. Fieldwork continues throughout the region; nationally, the sorghum harvest was 27% complete by September 20, while one-fifth of the intended winter wheat acreage had been planted.
