Brownfield Ag Weather Today

Across the Corn Belt, dry weather is promoting final corn and soybean harvest efforts, despite an increase in high cloudiness. On the Plains, significant, short-term dryness is affecting several areas, including the central High Plains and much of Texas, leading to renewed stress on winter wheat. In the South, cool, dry weather throughout the region favors fieldwork, including winter wheat planting and cotton, peanuts, and soybean harvesting. However, pockets of lowland flooding linger in the eastern Carolinas. In the West, Northwestern winter wheat is benefiting from the recent and ongoing boost in topsoil moisture. In contrast, drought— aggravated by consistent warmth—continues to expand and intensify across the Southwest. According to the November 17 U.S. Drought Monitor, drought covers 76% of the 11-state Western region—and 100% of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.
