Across the Corn Belt, rain is halting late-season fieldwork, mainly east of the Mississippi River. In Michigan, 79% of the corn and 96% of the soybeans had been harvested by November 26. On that date, more than one-tenth of the corn was also still standing in Wisconsin (85% harvested) and Ohio (86%). Farther west, some wet snow is falling early today in southern Iowa and environs.
On the Plains, dry weather prevails. Friday’s high temperatures will remain below 40°F throughout the northern and central Plains, although such readings are not unusual for this time of year.
