As expected the early planted fields generally yielded about average for grain and below for straw. The fields planted later generally did poorly in both. Straw continues to be a scarce commodity. Mostly sunny, especially toward the end of the week. Light showers brought 10 to 15 mm of rain to the area.
Soil moisture is generally adequate.
Corn remains quite uneven. About half the acreage is dented while the rest is at the milk stage. A small acreage was touched by frost. Soybeans are turning. Uneven emergence is now translating into uneven maturity.
