During July, U.S. wildfires charred about 2.7 million acres of vegetation, with a gradual westward and northward shift in activity from the Southwest to California and the Northwest.

There were 5.7 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending Oct. 23, 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Fieldwork in northern Wisconsin was delayed by rains early in the week, but had picked up again by the weekend. Rapid progress was made in harvesting soybeans and corn. Reporters noted good yields in many areas, though there were scattered reports of mold issues, and some farmers working around wet spots. Winter-wheat planting, fall tillage and manure spreading continued as fields were cleared.
