 We're getting to that point of the year, sometimes called the dog days of summer, which is traditionally the period of the 40 warmest days of summer. It is during this stretch, with an average high in the lower 80s and an average low near 60, that we can get 20 to 25 growing degree days every day for corn and soybeans. So there is time to catch up when the heat finally comes. That's the Richardson Report. Your focus on the field with North Dakota State Climatologist Darrell Richardson.
