Field Notes
NOVEMBER CONDITIONS: Wheat planting conditions were rough for many farmers across the region, in spite of several rains post emergence. A dry spell with warm and windy conditions (especially central and west) led to drying topsoil. As our expert panel reports, many producers dusted-in wheat, hoping for rain. Some places received precipitation late last month, which were followed up by several very hot days, especially to the south. Others are still waiting for rain as of press time, anticipating low tillering going into winter, and looking at the possibility of higher abandonment than anticipated. Note the U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook below, valid to the end of January 2021.
