After some much needed heat and sunshine, the crop has really taken off in the last week! Heavy rains in some areas, but there’s pockets that could use a rain as well!
Heavy rains this week to the north, while further south in the region remains dry.
Post herbicide sprays, replanting pockets in some fields. Rains will keep us out of the field locally awhile.
Found the first soybean flower as seen in the picture!
