What kind of weather can we expect in the coming months for harvest season? Let’s find out from Bam Wx meteorologist Bret Walts.

Large swathes of the West and Plains — from Puget Sound to Western Iowa and south to Texas — can expect a 33% chance of reduced rainfall. A smaller core area, from Eastern Washington and Oregon, Northern Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, and the western Dakotas, is facing a 50% chance of reduced rainfall.

As we come out on the other side of this historic event, I think it’s only appropriate to ask ourselves what kind of adaptation strategies we used on our farms and ranches and what lessons we learned.
