14 SEPTEMBER 2020 - WINTERSET, IOWA: A farmer harvest corn in his field northeast of Winterset, in Madison County, Iowa. The US Department of Agriculture recently lowered its corn and soybean outlooks because of a persistent drought in Iowa and parts of the Midwest. “August was a month of extreme weather and climate disasters,” USDA said in its monthly Crop Production report. “There were also slow-motion events, such as worsening Western drought and a stripe across the Midwest and Northeast that experienced significant rainfall deficits.” Iowa's harvest was also hurt by the derecho wind storm in August, although that storm didn't hit Winterset.
