Across the Corn Belt, warm, dry weather is promoting corn and soybean maturation and harvesting, although cloudiness is encroaching from the south. Wednesday’s high temperatures will approach or reach 90° in parts of the western Corn Belt.
On the Plains, scattered showers associated with a weak cold front are crossing the Dakotas. Elsewhere, warm, dry weather remains nearly ideal for summer crop dry down and harvesting. On September 20, the U.S. sorghum harvest was 27% complete, with state progress ranging from 2% harvested in Kansas and Nebraska to 81% in Texas.
