The last few mornings have brought significant rainfall across Logan, Menard, and Sangamon counties. High winds have accompanied this rain, but no crop damage has been observed or reported. While this rain has replenished some drier areas, it has caused a lot of standing water in the low-lying areas. The forecast for the next couple of days looks to be much of the same: rain in the morning with high temps and humidity in the afternoon. Crop progress remains steady. While these rains are beneficial, these humid and hot days are perfect conditions for crop diseases to flourish. No reports of diseases have been made in this area, but producers are keeping a close eye on their fields.
