An author with the US Drought Monitor says some relief from persistent dryness in the Western Corn Belt could arrive as soon as this weekend.
Brian Fuchs tells Brownfield a Canadian airmass arrives tonight. “And, this one looks like it could put a little precipitation on the ground for some folks, which I think even though we’re getting close to harvest season, I think most producers would welcome some precipitation especially those livestock producers who’ve had a hard time on forage and hay production this year.”
But, he tells Brownfield, the latest drought outlook for September isn’t good news for many farmers.
