Weather and harvest update from a warm week across the state
A moderately warm week brought scattered showers on the 12th and 18th in western areas with locally heavy rains in the extreme southeast. Benefits were limited elsewhere as moisture did little overall. A severe wind, rain, and hail storm hit northern Polk county on the 18th, damaging standing grain. Harvest progresses in dry weather in the Red River valley with most grain cut north to northern Norman county and Kitson county. late wheat and oats show poor filling and rust risk. Thrashing and harvesting continue in central portions and the South, though yields are poor in the North and late-sown or new land in the South. Corn, potatoes, gardens, and pastures suffer from drought, driving feed needs and high produce costs. Plowing is hard in dry soil, while central areas report a sizable wild hay crop.
