Several fields are at the 10- 14 leaf stage and now canopied over the rows. Fields with uneven emergence, continue to be obvious. There has been some localized areas of army worm damage. Soybeans look good in most areas. 1st year soybeans appear to have nodulated well.
Emergence continues to be uneven within the same row in the same field.
The taller plants are now beginning to flower. Prolonged dry weather has severely effected the emergence and yield potential of several crop in parts of Renfrew. Farmers in these areas are also beginning to feed stored feed intended for this winter's supply. Several farmers have been holding off cutting 1st cut in the hopes to increase the yield. The quality of this hay will be low and may require supplementation.
