Dry weather during the fall allowed growers across the region to get their crops harvested with very little resistance. This is in sharp contrast to the last couple of fall seasons, and the fall of 2019 in particular, in which maddening amounts of corn, beans, potatoes and beets were abandoned in the field. The contrast between the two autumns is best revealed by the data from Grand Forks.
The fall of 2019 was the wettest on record for Grand Forks. The combination of heavy thunderstorms in September and heavy snows in October and November produced 14.73 inches of precipitation, 9.81 inches above the three-decade average. This year, total precipitation through the fall was just 0.61 inches, 4.31 inches below average. Other weather stations around the region showed a similar contrast, but not quite to this extreme. So far, the dry weather of the fall of 2020 has produced no negative effects due to the wet weather before and the time of year.
