Week Off W e took the week off. To pick corn of course. See ya next week. H arvest steped up a gear this last week. Western and northern Iowa lag behind the remainder of the corn belt, but most in Illinois and eastward are running both corn and beans hard in good weather.
Corn is still too wet in most locations to start just yet.
A few beans are dropping leaves. To receive a copy, use the subscription form at the bottom. Others were left wanting. A few location were blessed with rain this last week, but most of the midwest didn't see a drop and it is knocking the top end off most yield projections. The heat wave of 1999, has vaulted this years crop a solid two weeks ahead of last year.
