What happened
The episode as NWS SGF wrote it up.
Drought conditions continued from August through the second week of September before much needed rainfall began to relieve the drought during the middle part of the month. Very high temperatures also continued through the first part of the week, providing additional drying of the sub-surface moisture. These conditions allowed for the continuation of short-term dryness, lower yields of soybeans, and above normal fire danger. Soybean yields were reduced from normally 26-31 bushels per acre, to 20 bushels per acre. West central and south central Missouri were especially hit hard during this period. No other significant losses were noted.
