Crop Report
It feels very fall-like with low humidity and temperatures in the low 80s. The crop is proceeding well, and some corn and soybean harvest will begin next week, mainly March corn and late group 2 soybeans.
Really great outlook for the next two weeks. Very little precip in the forecast. Later crops are struggling in places.
Spotty rain last 3 weeks. The lucky ones got 1 inch plus.
Variable with rain events
Desiccation on some soybeans. Waiting for harvest to begin.
R1 to 40% leaf drop.
Pollination to black layer.
Waterhemp, giant ragweed and vines are starting to break really bad in places.
Full gamut in most areas—SDS and BSR in soybeans. Physoderma brown spot and southern rust in corn.
Learned last night at IL FB Nutrient Stewardship Field Day that Wayne and White counties have a combined 39K acres of prevent plant. Jasper, Richland, Crawford, and Cumberland counties all have a lot of bare ground.
