Weather highlights for December 1930 and 1980 agricultural outlook

December 1930 had no zero days with a low of 7 above and a 44 degree range, 61 maximum on Dec 9, and only 0.42 inch of precipitation. Snow totaled 3.4 inches, and 14 days were clear while 15 were cloudy. December's northwest wind and sparse precipitation mirrored midsummer conditions. The 1980 agricultural outlook notes record low average prices, with many crops below production costs due to drought, but a potential price rise as surplus depletes and production rebounds, according to M G Thornburg, secretary of agriculture.
