For my crop survey this week, I traveled to southern Vermilion County. Most of the area had received at least an inch of rain over the past 24 hours, and likely more in some areas over the past week with the pop-up showers that were prevalent before temps cooled down. Although it was on the wet side, most fields had been planted and the majority of those had emerged, with just a couple areas with fields tilled but still unplanted. Corn generally ranged from VE to V3-4, and soybean ranged from VE to V1-2. The couple wheat fields I observed were fully headed out.

Moderately Wet (soil is damp, standing water may be present in low areas, water bodies are full)
