A meteorologist says the amount of rainfall has varied widely across the Midwest.
Brownfield’s Greg Soulje says last weekend’s storms left most farmers wishing for more rain, but a few narrow bands got a lot of water. “Some spots through southern Wisconsin, parts of eastern Iowa, far northern Illinois, one to three (inches of rain) last week, and actually, there was a corridor not too far east of Cedar Rapids that had five to six.”
Yet nearby areas had less than a quarter of an inch, which Soulje says is a good example of how rains happen this time of the year.
