Scranton | I live in the county exactly three counties south of emmetsburg, in the white strip that says "normal". We have had from .75 to 1.25 inches depending on location since June 15, with temps in the 90s almost every day. I know some west of me have had almost nothing. We aren't completely dying yet, but the dry weather is certainly taking bushels off, with sandier ground already being dead and everything else starting to look gray in the heat. Our tiles ran for two weeks in may here for the first time since 2019 but have since quit again.
Yesterday I drove from my place north to hwy 20, then over to sioux city to get my daughter from camp, then back down 59 and back home through Carroll and I didn't see much difference in corn or bean dryness from the road the entire trip. (*in the hills on most of the trip, you can see clear down through many of the fields, much more so than central or northern Iowa) | |
