Wheat harvest has started. Yield reports have been very good but moisture is inconsistent. Most who are harvesting are drying their wheat. Replanting is all but done. However most of the replanting on soybeans have the seed sitting in dry soil. There is good soil moisture in many fields below 3 inches. Low humidity is really playing havoc with the crop. Corn is uneven and ranges from lime green to dark green, in the same field and even between rows across most fields. In worked fields we are seeing floppy corn even with 2 inch planting depth due to roots having little to hold on to in the loose dry soil. With the lack of moisture crop damage is way up this year with a lot of deer and turkey damage. Reports of over 30 head of deer in some bean fields picking them clean at night. Some have replanted beans 3 times due to deer damage.

Warm to hot, 80-90 deg temps Humidity <40 most days, light breeze sucking the life out of the crops.

Very scattered rain 5 days ago with some getting nothing and others up to 3 inches. Amounts changed on the quarter mile it seemed.

No till and cover crop fields have moisture below 2 inches, worked ground below 3. Very dry on top.
