Even better if grain NEVER gets dry, 1985 we dried every bu of the harvest! Late cold year, started swathing Sept 1st!

USA...Midwest weather last week enabled US soybean farmers to make steady harvest progress, though corn is
coming in more slowly, USDA says. According to the government, 62% of the US soybean crop had been collected
as of Sunday, just shy of the average pace of 63% for this time of year from 2011 to 2015. Corn, meanwhile, is 46%
harvested, compared to an average 49% for the past five years. Drier-than-normal weather across much of the US
Farm Belt in the past seven days allowed combines to roll reliably through fields, and few weather interruptions are
anticipated for this week. (DJ

According to my neighbour in his 80's:

On October 8th, 1958 in NE Sask there was a huge snow storm that plugged up grid roads with snow banks.

Harvest didn't get going again until around Halloween and they finished November 8th.
