Farmers have faced significant harvest delays this year because of extreme weather.
Fields were left waterlogged this Spring because of heavy rains and flooding, extending into the fall. Now, Midwest farmers are experiencing a historic October blizzard, with North Dakota being hit the hardest.
North Dakota farmers have reported that they would need at least three weeks of drying warm weather to improve conditions to harvest crops, though that won't happen.
Crops are filled with snow as snow drifts in North Dakota are reaching four feet. Farmers are starting to rationalize that harvesting crops will have to extend to either February or March when the frost goes down.
Those that have already been planted will likely sustain irreparable quality damage, Agweek reports.
