Rains have been going around us nearby on three sides. It's now been long enough since significant rain that the corn fields with sandy patches are showing stressed corn. The stalks are shorter and the leaves show the lack of moisture. Some of the irrigation units have not been repaired since the derecho in May that tipped them over. One of those fields has several sandy patches and irrigation would have been helpful. This dry spell during tasseling will likely effect corn yields. Soybeans are likely not effected yet. They have a better capacity to wait for rain than does corn. Initial cuttings of hay were good but rain is needed for future cuttings. Pray for rain and don't forget your umbrella.
Takk for alt,
