Moderately Wet (soil is damp, standing water may be present in low areas, water bodies are full)
IF CONDITIONS ARE ON THE DRY END, WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING US DROUGHT MONITOR CATEGORIES BEST FIT CURRENT CONDITIONS
Near Normal (Dnada)

Sunny and 90 degress

None today

FIELD/SOIL CONDITIONS

Wetter than normal. Some water standing in compacted areas

FIELD ACTIVITIES

Some later planted beans are getting fungicide, other than that, not much.

Waterhemp is starting to come through I most bean fields. The dryer weather during herbicide applications I think has caused some of this due to lack of activation.
