Wheat? Many areas were a total write off due to drought. Areas that got some rain at the critical times will have good yeilds and very high quality. Feed grains will be in very short supply and feed will be expensive. Many ranchers reducing inventory as prices are good now but cannot justify keeping over the winter. producer.com According to Statistics Canada, the parched Prairies are going to yield a crop that is 20 percent smaller than last year's harvest.

Ag Web News 11/23/2001 Drought Monitor: Drought Expands in Plains, Upper Midwest by Julianne Johnston The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s National Drought Monitor reflects dryness spreading across the Plains and upper Midwest. Drought conditions encompass much of the western Corn Belt and have spread across the northern and southern Plains, and into Kansas. NOAA says abnormal dryness was erased across portions of central Texas, while varying degrees of drought were reduced across the remainder of central, southern, and western Texas, as well as southeastern New Mexico and southwestern Oklahoma. “Winter wheat in Texas exhibited some improvement, from 44% very poor to poor on November 11 to 38% on November 18,” notes NOAA. “Oklahoma also noted slight improvement in wheat condition from last week, from 52 to 48% very poor to poor. In contrast, Montana’s wheat declined to 32% very poor to poor, off from 26% on November 11.” Farther east, a slight expansion of abnormal dryness and moderate drought was placed in an area centered on northeastern Arkansas, states NOAA. In their outlook, NOAA says weather features the next five-day may include: Dry weather is forecast to prevail in the East until the weekend, when scattered, light showers may provide limited drought relief; Mild, dry weather will persist on the Plains through week’s end; Heavy precipitation will be confined to the West Coast States, primarily in and west of the Cascades and Sierra Nevada, but some rain and snow showers are forecast to reach the Great Basin and northern and central Rockies; The NWS 6-10 day outlook for November 26-30 indicates that a major winter storm will track from the Southwest to the Great Lakes region. Widespread precipitation is likely along and near the storm’s path, including possible heavy snow from the central and southern Rockies to the north-central U.S. In addition, showers and thunderstorms may develop across the South and Midwest. However, the storm will contribute to the evolution of a drier weather pattern in the Northwest, largely bypass the northern High Plains, and is not likely to produce a long-duration, soaking rainfall in the middle and southern Atlantic Coast States. www.agweb.com/news Additional drought info: enso.unl.edu
