Good weather amidst harvest

According to the USDA, there were 6.8 days suitable for fieldwork in Oregon, up from 6.6 days from the previous week.

Columbia, Multnomah, and Washington Counties welcomed good weather conditions as more winter grain and seed crops were planted.

Clatsop and Tillamook Counties experienced multiple days of precipitation as temperatures cooled. Corn harvest started, and field activities were moderate.

Hood River, Gilliam, Sherman, Wasco, and Wheeler Counties were still relatively dry, but some areas welcomed a little rainfall midweek.

Producers continued to plant winter grains while corn and potato harvests continued.

Cattle were moved for grazing since pastures were still dry, following the hot and dry summer conditions.
