Extreme heat starting today. Earlier planted corn is 1/4-1/2 milk line so I would anticipate less damage to it. Later planted corn is not dented yet, there could be damage done resulting in major tip back.

Crop conditions are good. Soybeans are looking better than the corn on average. Lots of tip back in the corn but there are bigger kernels than usual so the yield drop may not be as bad.

Very dry and slight crop stress until yesterdays rainfall. Crops are more relaxed now and I anticipate some rapid growth this week.

Crops are starting to suffer from lack of rainfall in many of the surrounding counties. With the exception of no precipitation, most all fields have great emergence and are off to a good start. Wheat is 10-20 days from harvest.

Significant progress in planting both corn and soybeans has happened over the last 10 days. Some growers are nearing completion already! Planting conditions for corn have been relatively good, soybeans that went in early are struggling to emerge. The soil is tight and we need a rain shower to bring them the rest of the way
