North Dakota Ag Weather Network Director Daryl Ritchison is expecting dry conditions to continue across the Northern Plains this summer. “We’ve had severe thunderstorms and wet conditions lately, but about two-thirds of North Dakota will finish June well below average and my summer forecast continues to be dry.” Dry, hot weather can be a concern for an already late crop. “I’m wondering if we go through the latter half of July into August and get more heat during corn pollination. That could affect yields, too.”
