Crops are growing well with soybeans in the R2 to R3 stages, and corn is in VT to R1 stages. So far, not seeing any leaf diseases in corn or soybeans. Japanese beetles are being seen feeding on tender vegetation, but are not yet evident in fields. I have not found any root feeding in corn, and root systems in fields planted under good conditions are looking healthy and strong.
The wheat harvest is quickly wrapping up in the wetter areas of the region, with double-crop planting following soon after.
Post-emergent soybean herbicide applications delayed by wet field conditions are wrapping up, with the target weed species larger than desired.
