Many areas across the Midwest have received just-in-time moisture, according to Eric Snodgrass, senior science fellow and principal atmospheric scientist with Nutrien Ag Solutions.
“Some places have even gotten too much. We’ve had flooding in Missouri, we’ve had flooding in southern Illinois, flooding in Indiana, and we even have more rain that’s coming up in the forecast, which means some of the crop right now, through this critical month of August, is kind of getting exactly what it needed to finish,” he says.
