Here are the Top 5 things the DTN Newsroom is tracking for the week of Aug. 13. Watch for coverage of these and other topics through the week on our subscription platforms as well as on DTNPF.com.
- Ag Summit Series: Tuesday is our latest DTN Ag Summit Series virtual event. We'll touch on details behind the recent DTN Digital Yield Tour, but the morning is also full of discussions about what farmers are seeing in their fields, where fertilizer prices may be headed, plus weather and market outlooks from DTN's experts. The event starts at 8:30 a.m. CDT Tuesday, but it's important to register and get logged in before that morning to make sure you're fully connected and ready to go. We know you won't want to miss a minute of it. Your registration automatically allows you to download sessions you may have missed or to rewatch a presentation with others in your operation.

- Enjoy the mild conditions: Expect one more week of good crop weather across the Corn Belt. The system that moves through during the weekend and early in the week will be followed by another larger storm system for mid-to-late week. Both are expected to bring widespread precipitation, but maybe some severe weather and stronger background winds. Mild temperatures dominate the week, but they'll change Friday and especially during the Aug. 19 weekend as a ridge builds across the middle of the country and pumps up the heat for the end of August. That will shut down a lot of the precipitation that has favored the southern Corn Belt but could be more beneficial to areas across the north that have been drier.
