Heavy rain disrupts harvest in US Corn Belt, drier weather expected
Heavy rainfall, influenced by the remnants of Hurricane Polo, has disrupted corn and soybean harvest activities across parts of the US Midwest. States such as Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois have experienced significant rainfall, leading to flood warnings and advisories in several areas. In Indiana and Ohio, fieldwork has been delayed due to surplus soil moisture, with only 1-2.6 days suitable for fieldwork in the past week. However, meteorologists predict a shift to a drier weather pattern across the Corn Belt by October 5, which should allow farmers to resume harvesting activities.
