Caption: Corn plant in the V3 stage showing signs of stress due to cold temperatures and excess moisture.
SYNOPSIS
This last week has seen very favorable conditions for crop growth across the area. The increase in temperatures has helped recently-planted fields begin to emerge. Much-needed rainfall arrived yesterday (6/4), filling many low-lying areas and ditches with water. Much of the corn and soybeans across the region are in the V3-V5 stages, with favorable conditions ahead likely to support plant growth.
