In the Corn Belt, mild, dry weather is promoting late-season harvest efforts. Among Midwestern States, only Michigan and Ohio had appreciable corn remaining in the field; both had harvested 89% of the crop by November 28. On the same date, the soybean harvest was 92% complete in Michigan and 91% complete in Ohio. Not coincidentally, Michigan and Ohio led the Midwest on November 28 in topsoil moisture rated surplus—39 and 31%, respectively.
On the Plains, extremely windy weather is developing in north-central Montana, where Tuesday’s peak gusts could range from 60 to 90 mph.
