# Season's coldest air for some; fair, dry weather from the Mississippi, westward

> The coldest weather of the season covered the Corn Belt, with Upper Midwest lows below 20°F and snow showers east of the Great Lakes. Fieldwork in the western Corn Belt slowed, and 32% of South Dakota's corn was still in the field on November 8. Soybean harvest was finished in Louisiana and Mississippi, and the cotton harvest was 97% complete in Arkansas and Mississippi.

## Why it matters

Cold, dry weather mostly helps fieldwork and leaves crops largely unaffected, so it adds little price pressure on its own. Delayed corn harvest in the western Corn Belt is a minor logistics factor to watch.
