Across the Corn Belt, dry weather has returned across the Ohio Valley and lower Great Lakes region, following recent snowfall. On December 1, snow in Ohio totaled 9.5 inches in Cleveland, 7.7 inches in Youngstown, and 1.4 inches in Dayton. On November 29, prior to the snowfall, Ohio’s corn harvest was 92% complete. Cool, dry weather also covers the remainder of the Midwest, although drier conditions in the western Corn Belt favor off-season farm activities.
