Week ending July 2, 2008 Reported by John M. Smith, Extension Educator, Auglaize County

Weather: Good for a few days. Very little rain and in the 70’s.

Corn: Growing quite well where it has not been hurt by excess water.

Soybeans: In the 3 to 5 Trifoliate stage. There are many drowned out spots in the fields and many fields have a lot of weed pressure.

Wheat: Harvest has started in a small way, but weather permitting should go full force in the next 3-4 days.

Forages: Second cutting has been slowed down by rains. It has been growing well. I have not found excessive Potato Leaf Hopper at this time.

Soil Moisture: Very good to excess.
