Drought continues to dominate a large part of North America from Mexico through the central United States to more than two-thirds of Canada’s Prairies. Some of this dryness has been ongoing since 2020 and this year’s dryness affected many crops, including spring wheat, canola, sunseed, corn, sorghum, soybeans, sugar beets and a host of other crops. No further production losses are anticipated except possibly in Mexico, where the growing season usually lasts well into the autumn. An assessment of the year’s lost grain and oilseed production is still underway while new dryness problems have emerged for winter crops in Ukraine, Russia and Australia.
