OMAHA (DTN) -- Very favorable weather conditions that will benefit the Corn Belt, and a continued dry trend for Europe, are key weather items for the commodity trade's attention Thursday.
MIDWEST FAVORABLE PATTERN TO CONTINUE
The DTN ag weather forecast calls for favorable conditions for late-pollinating and -filling corn and developing and filling soybeans with moderate temperatures and adequate moisture conditions to continue. In the six-to-10-day outlook, temperatures will be variable and rainfall near to below normal west, and near to above normal east.
TREENDING DRIER FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS
In the Central and Southern Plains, recent moderate-to-heavy showers and thunderstorms and more moderate temperatures ease stress to corn and soybeans. Soils will be trending drier during the next seven to 10 days with near to above normal temperatures and mostly below normal rainfall.
DRY TREND FOR WEST TEXAS
No significant rainfall is expected in the major growing areas of west Texas during the next seven days. Episodes of hot weather will further stress the crop.
