Across the Corn Belt, any showers are light and limited to the Ohio Valley and the lower Great Lakes region. Meanwhile, frost and light freezes were noted early Monday in parts of the western Corn Belt. Across much of the Midwest, cool, dry weather is promoting autumn fieldwork, including winter wheat planting and corn and soybean harvesting. About a week ago, on October 8, winter wheat planting ranged from 14 percent complete in Missouri to 31 percent in Ohio.
