Record June Cold Impacts North Dakota Wheat Planting
US farmers hoping to wrap up spring wheat plantings in North Dakota were greeted with weekend highs in only the 30’s and 40’s (ºF), compared to normal highs in the mid 70’s, say StormX.
Indeed, in Dickinson located in southwestern North Dakota, heavy snow was reported on Saturday morning as several cities in the state reported record low maximum temperatures for the month of June over the weekend.
