DRY MIDWEST PATTERN
The DTN Ag Weather forecast calls for a dry pattern across the Midwest through the balance of the week. Seasonal to above normal temperatures will favor crop drying and early harvest.
DRY WEEK FOR SOUTHERN PLAINS
Southern Plains crop areas will be dry during the coming week. This will be favorable for winter wheat planting after rainfall in the past week.

RAINY DELTA OUTLOOK

WARMER PRAIRIES PATTERN
The Canadian Prairies will have mild temperatures and drier conditions through the week ahead, favorable for wheat harvest progress.
LIGHT RUSSIA RAIN
Russia and Ukraine wheat areas have light rain forecast during the week ahead. This is unfavorable for wheat planting.
