Across the Corn Belt, frost and freezes occurred Friday morning as far south as Missouri and Illinois. The only states in which corn was less than 90% fully mature on October 11 were Ohio (77% mature) and Michigan (82%). Among Midwestern States, Missouri had the fewest soybeans dropping leaves (77%), with all other states in the Corn Belt at 93% or above.
On the Plains, cool, dry weather favors fieldwork, including winter wheat planting and harvest activities for a variety of crops.
