Across the Corn Belt, fieldwork remains largely stalled by cool, cloudy, rainy weather. However, a return of dry weather across western corn and soybean production areas, including Minnesota, Nebraska, and the Dakotas, is allowing limited harvesting to resume, following recent rainfall.
On the Plains, warmth is replacing previously cool conditions across the northwestern half of the region. Friday’s high temperatures should reach 70°F or higher as far north as eastern Montana and western North Dakota, benefiting recently planted winter wheat.
