Weather: The cool weather is not producing very many “Degree Days” to finish the crops. Hopefully it will warm some.
Corn: In many cornfields the kernels are starting to dent. Corn is looking good to very good. It just needs more days before frost to reach black line. In many cornfields the husks are turning brown.
Soybeans: Soybeans are showing very little insect damage at this point. I have seen very few soybean aphids. Soybeans are podding very well; even the second crop beans are all podded even though those seeds are only very small at this point. About 60% of soybean fields are turning color.
Wheat: I hope none is planted yet.
Forages: At this date, alfalfa harvest should be complete, although some will still be cut. Some grass and summer planted grains will be harvested for forage.
Soil Moisture: Very good to excellent.
