Weather: Weather has been cooperating to complete corn kernel and soybean pod fill. Mostly in a good temperature range. Due to late planting, hope for no heavy frost until the last of October.
Corn: Early planted corn had some pollination problems due to heat and dry weather. Later planted corn looks very good at this point. Most fields look like they pollinated well.
Soybeans: Soybeans are looking excellent in most fields. Even second crop soybeans are starting to pod heavily even though they have a long way to go for maturity.
Wheat: Keep in mind September 27th is “Fly Free Date” for Hessian Fly. Preferably do not plant wheat ahead of that date.
Forages: Most of the hay crop has been made for the year.
Soil Moisture: Soil moisture is fair to good. We just need some timely rains to finish the growing season.
