We missed the rains over the weekend, and the heat is starting to show stress in fields. Soybean fields are showing their stressed areas by maturing quicker than the rest of the field. Corn is moving along quickly, dropping 1.5 -2 a day in moisture. This will probably result in a little drop in TW as we reach black layer.
Hot and low humid!!
Fields are starting to show signs of moisture stress. I was pulling field signs and I do still find moisture on the post as they are pulled out.
Rapidly moving into R4-R6. A few growers are starting on very early varieties.
R4-R5 and some R6. This heat will push a lot of these hybrids into R6 in the coming days.
Cercospora leaf blight is showing up in certain varieties of soybeans. The leaves will have a brown/bronze/purple coloring.
Starting to see a small amount of tar spot in corn. Thankfully, we are nearing black layer and hopefully we will see little to no yield effect. With this heat, it will not progress. Crown rot is present in some hybrids. We are also seeing diplodia ear rot starting.
