# Michigan drought conditions persist as harvest nears completion

> A Michigan farmer said growing-season flash drought kept yields below average on some fields, although her overall crop results were about average. More than 60% of the state is in drought, and farmers are concerned about moisture for winter wheat establishment; corn harvest is 61% complete and soybean harvest is 86% complete.

## Why it matters

Dry conditions may constrain local corn and soybean output and impair winter wheat establishment, lending modest support to prices if the effects are widespread. The reported impact is regional, with much of the harvest already completed.
