Soybeans are yellowing and dropping their leaves as the pods start to mature. They have changed a lot in a week. Tillage, manure hauling and a host of other jobs on the list are being completed. Some early planted winter wheat is up but the rest remains in the bag. The moisture has renewed hay and pasture regrowth.
Most fields now look green again.
Day temperatures in the lower to mid 20's, except around 30 on Sunday. Night temperatures from 8 to 14. Scattered showers last Wednesday and Thursday left 5 to 20 mm and scattered thundershowers on Sunday night left up to 25 mm. Silage harvest is finally underway as the corn is drier than it looks in the field. Pastures grasses are growing well with the cooler temperatures and rains.
