Early fall harvest windows have been wide open and crops are finishing well in the fields. As we approach November, more frequent low-pressure systems could interfere with harvest. La Niña remains very strong but there are several indicators it will fade this winter. Watch as Eric Snodgrass talks through this, plus the impacts of a fading La Niña and discusses potential winter and spring weather.
