Climate and Crop Bulletin from Des Moines Aug 23
The past week showed slightly above normal temperatures with uneven rainfall. Western districts were light while eastern and central areas reported 2 to 4 inches. Local storms damaged grain in shocks and stacks, but overall crops benefited. Corn progresses well with ample moisture, pasture conditions improve, and soil suits fall plowing. Late potatoes gain, threshing small grain advances with favorable yields and grain quality.
