Caption: The short, the tall, and the injured of the current corn conditions across my area. Note the weeds are growing as well.
Caption: Quite a range in soybean crop development across my area. The hail damaged injured field was in the 2nd trifoliate stage when hit.
SYNOPSIS

The crop conditions across my 3-county area vary from just planted corn to V4 stage corn. The soybean fields are much the same with newly planted to almost V3 (3rd trifoliate). Sidedressing of corn and post emergent weed control are in progress. Crops look good except for fields that have experienced severe weather damage.
