Across the Corn Belt, chilly, breezy conditions—accompanied by snow showers—dominate the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes region. Friday’s high temperatures will remain below 32°F in portions of the Great Lakes States, where some producers are still trying to complete corn and soybean harvesting. Meanwhile, mild weather prevails in the western Corn Belt; Friday’s temperatures will reach 60°F or higher in much of Nebraska.
On the Plains, mild, dry weather continues to promote late-autumn fieldwork but reduce soil moisture for winter wheat establishment.
