Commodity report The second cutting of alfalfa has been stalled due to scattered rains.
Potato leafhoppers are problems in some fields, but some areas with heavy rains are not over threshold. Advanced corn fields are in the R1 growth stage with ear shoots and tassels. Some high and low fields are trying to catch up. Advanced soybean fields are canopying and are in the R1 bloom stage. It appears as if we are at threshold for white mold infections.
