Well grown crop hayed off prematurely due to moisture stress.
Lack of growing season rainfall can lead to poor growth and very short crops resulting in difficulties harvesting.
A dry Spring after adequate rains in Winter can lead to poor yields with poor grain fill and smaller grain. Warm windy weather with dry conditions in Spring can reduce flower set and yield.
