More than one farmer was happy for the rain Friday, not only to replenish soil moisture, but to give a day of rest. The rain Friday was the first rain for the month, speeding along harvest at a challenging pace.
The rain started after 6 am, the time volunteer weather observer John Beltz checks his rain gauge, so a total rainfall won’t be available until next week’s weather summary.
Beltz reported a low temperature of 32, the first night time freeze of the season, and high temperature of 80 degrees just two days later. What is it folks say about the weather in Iowa? Wait a day and it will change?
