Crop Report
The Crop Report provides timely and relevant crop and field information from experts across the state.
Southern Clinton County and into Washington has seen harvest begin more than the north half or Marion county. Quite a few farms are working on corn fields here. Corn throughout the region seems to have hit black layer and is still a little on the wet side for the most part, but harvestable. First crop soybeans are defoliating quickly and double crops are just beginning to see a few tinges of yellow while still filling those top pods thanks to the rains the last couple weeks. This late season moisture is delaying harvest now but will surely boost double crop yields. I have seen one bean field harvested and drilled (presumably to wheat) as of today.
