Weather conditions varied widely this week across the U.S., with some communities experiencing flooding and others still in drought. Meanwhile, strong storms resulted in tornado watches.

We asked “I Studied Ag” Facebook community members to weigh in on what they’re seeing in their respective state. Post your own weather observations here, then scroll down to read more perspectives from other states:

Just spoke with a Nebraska farmer who says his part of the country is under a winter weather advisory with 2" of snow on the ground. Here in Missouri, we’ve got pools of water and more rain pouring down. What’s the weather doing in your state? /Nate

I Studied Agriculture & I Have A Job Wow, talk about a diverse weather outlook! Two requests: First, can you post some photos to show me what conditions are like in your area? I’m working on a story and would love some visuals (you’ll get full credit). Second, I’d recommend checking out ProFarmer’s Midwest Crop Tour page for weather and crop comments updates if you’re into that kind of information. Thanks for your help! /Nate
