Warm Weather to Persist Into Fall Harvest

Aug 03, 2022

By Jim Noel

After a drier June and wetter July, August is shaping up to be the tail of two months with the first half normal to slightly wetter than normal followed by drier for the second half of August. Temperatures are forecast to be above normal but nothing extreme (limited days at or above 95). Going toward the end of growing season and the start of harvest in September, it still looks warmer than normal with below normal rainfall. The warmer and potentially drier patter will likely persist into October as well. It would not be surprising if harvest season gets going in late September again this year. Early indications are the first frost and freezes will either be normal or later than normal much like 2021. Overall, much of the information indicates an August to October period not a lot different than last year thanks in part to our ocean patterns. In the short-term, rainfall in the attached graphic for the first half of August is projected to range from 1-3 inches. This means most places will be normal or slightly above except in those areas that only receive an inch.

Honey Bee Manufacturing was founded by brothers Greg and Glenn Honey in 1979. At the time, the two farmers were unable to find equipment to fit the needs on their farm - so they built their own. These on-farm innovations quickly evolved into a complete line of harvesting equipment that is now being used all over the world.

Honey Bee’s specialty is innovative, intuitive, and simple designs that the farmer can understand. At the nexus of these features sits the AirFLEX platform. The AirFLEX has evolved into a tougher and more resilient machine, all while maintaining its simple design and providing the closest cut imaginable. With the new AirFLEX NXT, Honey Bee brings you a combination of thoughtful design and high performance. With improvements that enhance performance and reliability, the NXT focuses on the future of farming. Honey Bee has come a long way from those days back on the farm. With a strong commitment to product research and development, Honey Bee’s objective has always been to manufacture equipment that farmers are proud to own.
