Across the Corn Belt, recent rainfall across the eastern half of the region is benefiting immature corn and soybeans. However, unfavorable dryness persists in parts of the western Corn Belt, where summer crops are maturing more quickly amid hot, dry conditions. Monday’s high temperatures will remain below 80°F in much of the eastern Corn Belt—but could reach 100°F in parts of Nebraska and South Dakota.
On the Plains, dry weather favors summer crop maturation and fieldwork, including Northern small grain harvesting.
