June is historically the wettest month in Iowa, and this year was no different. Heading into July, we normally expect things to dry off a little bit, but that’s where things have been surprising. Dr. Justin Glisan, state climatologist for Iowa, said some farmers have actually been getting a little too much rain so far this month.
Glisan said that slow-moving thunderstorms have dumped a lot of rain in specific areas.
Glisan said this weather has been outstanding for pollination since the crops want to see plenty of cooler and wetter weather.
