Look for crop progress numbers this afternoon to show a pretty decent jump in soybean harvest progress, given some excellent weather for harvesting in the Corn Belt for Monday-Wednesday of last week and in the Delta for Monday- Thursday of last week. However, given the weather of this past weekend and especially considering the weather that we have coming up, we will likely see next week’s crop progress numbers move very little from the figures of this afternoon, so corn and soybean harvest progress numbers for the week ending October 11 look to be severely behind the five-year averages. Rainfall over the weekend was not heavy in the Corn Belt, but was widespread across northern and eastern parts of the region to keep harvesting there at a standstill. The biggest weekend rains were in the southeastern Plains and the Delta from Saturday night through a good portion of Sunday; rainfall amounts of 0.50 to 1.50 inches have been fairly common right in the heart of the Delta. That system is exiting out of the southeastern part of the Nation this morning, and a new weather system was bringing widespread rain to northeastern Nebraska and most of South Dakota early on this Monday.
That system will spread rains throughout the Corn Belt for today and tomorrow, bringing its best amounts to South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and far northern parts of Nebraska and Iowa. That same system will bring more rain to the Delta tomorrow. The biggest storm system for this week arrives by Thursday morning, with extensive rain expected across Missouri by that time. That weather system will be a copious rain producer for Missouri, the southern half of Illinois, all but far northern parts of Indiana and Ohio, southeastern Kansas, central/eastern Oklahoma, north-central Texas, northern Arkansas, and western parts of Tennessee and Kentucky with one to three inches of rain common and localized rains likely exceeding four or even five inches. That system will exit the Corn Belt and Delta by early in the weekend, leaving very cold weather as the big story for the weekend and into early next week. Look for the growing season to end in the Northern Plains by no later than Friday morning, and across much of the western Corn Belt by Saturday morning. This cold will be persistent and will tend to spread eastward with time, so that by the time we get to October 13 there might not be too much of the Corn Belt that is spared sub-32 degree temperatures.
