It was time to check the corn. My expectation? That, with the corn's slow growth meaning that the rows would not be shaded, weeds would sprout. Wrong! There is almost no weed growth? Is that a factor of the drought? Is it too dry for the weeds to germinate? That's a guess. The corn is pathetic! The stand is poor because of dry soil and the corn is not growing normally.
The commercial corn fields still like normal, though a bit stunted where the soil is sandy. Soybeans seem very short. The corn is not tasseling yet and that's a critical stage for development. Lake Sinai is down, perhaps a foot since spring and more than that from its high water mark. Still there are those who deny climate change. It's sad that climate change became politized.
Takk for alt,
