Across the Corn Belt, cloudy but dry weather prevails in most areas from the Mississippi Valley eastward. Although snow that fell last week in the eastern Corn Belt has largely melted, some fieldwork delays persist as producers attempt to complete the 2020 corn harvest. Meanwhile in the western Corn Belt, mild, dry weather is promoting off-season farm activities; Monday’s high temperatures could reach 60° as far north as central South Dakota.
On the Plains, warm, dry weather is maintaining concerns in some areas regarding a lack of soil moisture for winter wheat.
