SHELBY WECKEL UPDATES
After receiving and unexpected 1.5-5 inches of rain last Friday and Saturday, it has again been the waiting game to allow things to dry out. Top soil is extremely hard after the pounding rains we received last Friday. Crops are struggling to get out of the ground and very uneven stands. We could use a light rain to help with emergence.
It has been a beautiful mild week. We needed a mild week after the heavy rains last week to allow water to receed so we were not baking the crops.
No rain since last weekend.
A lot of erosion occurred with heavy rains and the soil surface is very hard. Crops are struggling to emerge that were planted prior to last Fridays rains, where soils are hard and soils are saturated, delaying emergence.
We are still at all staged of growth. Fields that had been planted prior to 10 days ago look very good.
Fields that had been planted prior to 10 days ago have really taken off with the moisture and the mild weather we have had. I’ve seen corn up to V4.
I have scouted a few fields for Cutworms but have not seen any so far.
