A lot of haying activity this past week. Most have completed first cut and yields are proving to be light. Forage regrowth has been slow. Early planted spring grains are in full head. Stalk height is short at 8 to 12 inches.
Several fields continue to show uneven in emergence.
Fields that lack moisture are very short. Most cereal disease, pressure remains low. In areas that have received rainfall in the past few weeks, the corn stands look good. Some fields are now reaching 9 to 11 leaf stage and beginning to canopy, but most are in the 7-8 leaf stage. Several fields have uneven emergence, which may result in harvesting problem because of uneven maturity.
