U.S. Drought Monitor
Another week of hot, dry weather in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and Northern Plains led to an expansion of drought conditions for those areas. At the same time, wet weather in the Midwest left much of the region drought-free except for Minnesota. In the Plains states, parts of Wyoming, the Dakotas, and Nebraska received rain, improving conditions, but areas of drought expanded in places that missed out on the rain. The USDA reported 92% of South Dakota and 76% of North Dakota topsoil moisture short to very short, leading to stunted crop growth. In the northwest, a week of exceptionally hot weather continued to dry out soil and lower crop conditions. In Washington, 84% of topsoil is short or very short of moisture. Idaho and Montana also saw conditions degrade with areas of drought expanded. Montana received less than 25% of average precipitation in June, usually its rainiest month.

Weekly Harvest Report (Erica Oakley)
- Despite delays due to rain and humidity, HRW harvest is now progressing in 8 states with 188 samples in the lab for testing. With favorable weather, the SRW harvest is nearly 80% complete. The PNW continues to trend hot and dry as harvest begins on SW winter wheat. The HRS crop continues to mature at a faster than normal pace as the region struggles with prolonged drought. The northern durum growing region also needs rain. Click Here for Full Report
