MIKE WILSON UPDATES
Harvest is progressing well after a brief break due to rain last week. Soybeans are very dusty, with leaves dying prematurely and hanging on the plant. Moisture is below 10% in most fields. Corn continues to dry down as beans are cut.
Harvest has begun, and very dry conditions are moving back in. Fire risk is becoming an issue as harvest picks up speed. Late-planted corn is in real trouble, and all crops are ripening fast.
It feels very fall-like with low humidity and temperatures in the low 80s. The crop is proceeding well, and some corn and soybean harvest will begin next week, mainly March corn and late group 2 soybeans.
HOT & HUMID — ideal conditions for disease development. Hot nights and foggy mornings mean lots of fungicide applications.
Scattered rain for the next several days. The crop is finally taking off. Corn growth stages are from emerging to Brown silk. Crazy spring!
6 inches of rain in last 7 days. Just getting back in the field to get some spraying done. More rain expected next 5 days. Waterhemp going wild!
1 inch rain over night. 85% done planting corn and soybeans. 50% emerged or bigger. Last 10 days insane progress planting. Sidedress UAN Beginning on early planted corn. Some post soybean spraying in areas.
Rain again after 3 days of field work. Corn maybe 10% planted in our 10 counties. Soybeans planting less than that. A few March beans are in first trifoliate (V1).
Drying field conditions , rivers still above flood stage. Work in uplands progressing very well.
