# Nebraska Farmers Face a Narrowing Harvest Window and a Hard Freeze

> The Nebraska State Climate Office forecasts a dry week, allowing fields to dry out for harvest. Temperatures in central and eastern Nebraska are expected to drop to the mid-40s to mid-50s, with a hard freeze likely by the weekend. Corn harvest is behind schedule after heavy localized rain earlier in the month.

## Why it matters

Dry weather should speed the remaining corn harvest, reducing near-term supply disruption. A freeze has little direct price effect on the crop at this stage.
