As fall ramps up, so does harvest and a wide variety of other chores for DTN's View From the Cab farmers.

What DTN Is Watching

On Monday, USDA will release their weekly Export Inspections report at 10 a.m. CDT. After the close, the weekly Crop Progress report is out at 3 p.m. CDT, updating field conditions and harvest pace after what was a very wet past week across the central and western U.S. grain belt.

Weather

A cold front continues to push through the Southeast on Monday, producing some areas of rain, some of which may be heavy. But a large ridge of high pressure building across much of the U.S. will keep the weather fairly quiet for much of the week.
