KAREN CORRIGAN UPDATES
The corn is not rolled, but still a bit spiked and sad looking. Soybeans look better except on the lighter soils and side hills. Not as dry as other places, but many fields around this area were planted later due to excess moisture early on in the southern part of Woodford County. Noticed a soybean field being planted on I-74 in McLean County this week also. The torrential downpours this week were scattered. Here we had 0.04 inches. Could use a rain, but the cooler nights are helping this crop to hang on.
Hot and uncomfortable. Scattered storms blowing through and dropping temps 10-12 degrees even where it didn’t rain. Cool nights are helping the crop to hang on through this area.
Negligent
Still moisture in newly planted fields 1.5 inches down.
Saw 2 planters running this week. Many farmers debating when to spray and what to spray in this weather.
Unifoliate to 3 trifoliates
V2-5
Minimal but morningglories are germinating in some fields. Look for the butterfly cotyledons.
