Across the Corn Belt, mild, dry weather in advance of an approaching cold front is promoting late-season corn and soybean harvest efforts, especially in wetter areas east of the Mississippi River. On November 21, Michigan led the Midwest with topsoil moisture rated 51% surplus, followed by Ohio (28%) and Indiana (24%). Wednesday’s high temperatures should reach or exceed 60°F as far north as the middle Mississippi Valley.
On the Plains, dry weather prevails, aside from spotty snow showers in Montana and North Dakota.
