Farmers Face Frost, Rain, And Harvest-Time Challenges
• Farmers face the dual challenge of harvesting crops and preparing soil for winter, with weather dictating timing and yields.
• Early frost and rain delays significantly impact harvest progress and market prices, affecting the entire food supply chain.
• Climate change adds complexity, requiring farmers to adapt strategies and utilize weather forecasting technologies for resilience.

The weather plays a pivotal role, influencing the timing, the size of yields, and ultimately, the market prices. An early frost can be particularly devastating, potentially wiping out entire crops, while persistent rain can cause significant delays in the harvesting process.
