This crop too needs some extra days to mature. Some of the early fields in the area have started to drop their leaves and most field have started to yellow to some degree. The spring grain crop is now history. 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.
