1/ Ag weather highlights from the @usda_oce, April 26: In the #CornBelt, scattered #frost was noted this morning in the Great Lakes region, although most locations reported lower #temperatures earlier in the week. bit.ly/3Rn0a2F

Coming rains should help fill-in some of this dryness across the #Cornbelt, but will also create pause for #Plant24 #Corn & #Soybeans into the weekend...

2/2 Meanwhile, dry weather throughout the #cornBelt is promoting spring #fieldwork, including #corn and #soybean planting.

1/ Ag weather highlights from the @usda_oce, April 25: In the #CornBelt, #frost and #freezes were noted this morning in the Great Lakes. Fruit producers in Michigan and in the Midwest are monitoring the potential impacts of the cold weather on #crops. bit.ly/3Rn0a2F

1/ Ag weather highlights from the @usda_oce, April 24: In the #cornBelt, sub-#freezing #temperatures were reported this morning in the upper Midwest. Although some #corn and #soybeans have been planted in the freeze areas, little emergence has occurred. bit.ly/3Rn0a2F

Rainfall across the #Cornbelt over the past week...#Plant24 #Corn #Soybeans

Maps have been suggesting hefty totals across the #Cornbelt into the weekend; we'll see if noon updates offer any change...

2/2 However, due to a rapid pace of #fieldwork in much of the western #cornBelt, #corn and #soybean #planting — 12% and 8% complete, nationally, by April 21 — remained ahead of the respective 5-year averages of 10 and 4%.

1/ Ag weather highlights from the @usda_oce, April 23: In the #CornBelt, scattered #rain stretches from Michigan to Missouri. Pockets of wetness impede #fieldwork in parts of the eastern Corn Belt, with topsoil moisture rated 44% surplus in Ohio. bit.ly/3Rn0a2F

About to take this place to the next level!!! @atgolfsup #cornbelt #nofoam #bettereveryday

3/3 During the second half of the week, however, some heavy #rain showers and #thunderstorms may develop from the eastern #Plains into the western #CornBelt. Read the full ag weather outlook from the @usda_oce for April 22 here: bit.ly/3Rn0a2F

Spring #planting season has arrived, but varying #weather is preventing a fast pace in some parts of farm country. The “I” states, which include the top producers in the #CornBelt, only saw about three days suitable for #fieldwork last week. rfdtv.com/weather-slows-…

2/2 Dry weather throughout the #Midwest is promoting #planting activities, except in areas of the eastern #CornBelt where fields remain wet.

1/ Ag weather highlights from the @usda_oce, April 22: In the #CornBelt, chilly weather lingers east of the Mississippi River, with #frost and #freezes as far south as the Ohio Valley. Mild, #breezy weather is returning across the western Corn Belt. bit.ly/3Rn0a2F

The U.S. weather hazards map, for April 22, includes a widespread area of #frost advisories across a majority of the #CornBelt and red flag (#fire) warnings across the upper #Plains. View all U.S. weather hazards here: weather.gov

Noon maps offering heavier, and more widespread rainfall across the #Cornbelt into the first week of May for #Plant24 #Corn & #Soybeans...

2/2 Few #freeze-related #agricultural impacts are expected in the #cornBelt, as any meaningful summer-#crop emergence has not yet occurred in those areas. In Iowa, for example, only 4% of the intended #corn acreage had been planted by April 14.

1/ Ag weather highlights from the @usda_oce, April 19: In the #CornBelt, #rain lingers in the lower Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Cool air trails the rain, with #freezes reported in parts of the western Corn Belt, as far south as #Iowa and #Nebraska. bit.ly/3Rn0a2F

2/2 Any #rain across the western #CornBelt is helping to replenish #soil moisture, which was largely depleted last summer and failed to appreciably rebound over the winter. Meanwhile, wetness remains an impediment to #fieldwork in parts of the eastern Corn Belt.
