Weather: Weather has been very conducive for crop growth with warm 80+ degree days, and in the 60 degree range at night with adequate moisture across the county.
Corn: The early planted corn had pollination problems due to heat and lack of moisture. Later planted corn looks to have pollinated very well.
Soybeans: Soybeans are podding very well. They just don’t need to experience frost until late October. I have yet to see soybean aphids. Very little insect damage at this point.
Forages: Third cutting alfalfa is about complete. It was a light crop.
Soil Moisture: Moisture is adequate lately, just need timely rains to keep up with the crop development.
Other Comments: Soybean fields are starting to show a variety of weeds that are apparently resistant to Roundup. Velvet leaf, volunteer corn, rag weed and giant rag weed, and marestail are the predominate weeds.
