Crops in the lighter soils are beginning to show signs of stress, however not seriously. Commodities report Corn ranges from knee high to tasseling. It looks like the corn roots are reaching the nitrogen because most fields have very good color. The fields that were planted into wet soils seem to be struggling. Soybeans are flowering, however most seem to be very short this year.
Stands are good and weed control is adequate.
Wheat harvest is under way. Weather has not been very cooperative. Early yield reports have been good. Test weight has been good. The low price is frustrating growers again this year.
