Adverse weather in the Plains like freezing temperatures can damage the wheat as it is emerging from dormancy. Drought in Nebraska and Kansas was keeping the crop condition ratings low. While the snow in the Dakotas is providing some moisture, it could harm the hard red winter wheat as it comes out of dormancy.
