Soybean harvest is tough right now especially for seed companies seed production acres. Down to 7% moisture according to Stine guy I talk with. They are working around the clock. Come Saturday if it is really windy those pods will be shattering like crazy!!

Eh, besides the loss of yield with 8% beans, you could not ask for better conditions. Most operations are gonna be finishing up beans in the next week anyway.

I’m gonna be done on Saturday or Monday. Just gotta figure out if I wanna work Saturday. Dry conditions give me that option

Godammit. Why can’t we have fall, for chrissake? I do not want to go directly from 80s into winter weather.

Personally hadn't seen anything below 8.0, but it sure wouldn't surprise me.
 
Ryan Hall says he wouldn't be surprised if we could possibly see some snow come late October.

7:30 mark:


It would make sense to go from 80 degrees to below freezing and snow within a 1-2 day period. Then we can all pretend to be shocked by it, despite living in Iowa our whole lives.

All I want is a moderately warm night of trick or treating. Last year was great weather, I recall. Temps in the 50s is perfect. 40s or below is miserable for parents walking around.
Not sure you're remembering last year correctly - it was stupid cold that night. High for the day was like 35 and it was below 30 when we left the house to go out. It was not at all enjoyable.

Must’ve been a couple years ago that it was so nice then. You’re right now that I think about. Last year our kids quit after 45 minutes because it was so cold.

Currently doing Helene cleanup at my family’s place while simultaneously getting everything ready for Milton. Helene was just a big storm surge with lots of water where Milton will be a direct hit which means surge, wind, and rain. It’s been an eerie trip being around the cleanup while also preparing to evacuate at the same time.
 
Our web person lives in Tampa. They evacuated for Helene, but just to higher ground there. Very worried about Milton.
