Northwest Iowa — Unsurprisingly, the cool, wet weather has kept farmers out of the fields, so farmers are behind in just about every category, according to the latest crop report.
The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service’s Agricultural Statistician, Brad Medlock tells us more.
May’s last full week saw an active weather pattern across Iowa that brought continued unseasonable wetness and severe weather. Measurable rainfall was observed every day of the reporting period along with six days of at least one severe weather report. Average temperatures were unseasonably cool with northwestern Iowa experiencing the coolest conditions.
