Miami County Report for the Week of June 22

WEATHER-Wet sums it up just about perfectly for this week, or maybe soggy. Fortunately much of the county has avoided the severe weather that some of the surrounding counties received but we still got the showers. Rain has been spotty just about every day this week and there is once again standing water in many low lying areas. The week ahead looks very similar so soils will not have much "drying time".

CORN-In better drained soils and higher ground, the corn crop looks great. Some of the corn that was re-planted because it got drowned out is once again drowned out, however these areas are the minority. A majority of the crop is doing really well.

SOYBEANS--The same can be said for soybeans as was stated for corn. I am sure there will be some re-planting taking place once some of the wetter areas dry out.

WHEAT-Head Scab counts that were taken last week showed minimal amounts of the disease in the fields scouted. There are no reports of wheat harvest yet that I am aware of. Once the weather allows, wheat harvest should begin in earnest.
