Across the Corn Belt, sub-freezing temperatures were reported Wednesday morning in the upper Midwest, extending as far south as northern Iowa. Although some corn and soybeans have been planted in the freeze-affected areas, little emergence has occurred. Dry weather throughout the Midwest favors spring fieldwork, except in areas where soils remain soggy.
On the Plains, isolated showers are confined to areas from Kansas southward. However, portions of the central and southern Plains remain unfavorably dry, with increasing impacts on rangeland, pastures, winter grains, and emerging summer crops.
