Labor Day weekend crop update

Hot, dry!

Cold, damp!

What a turn around since 98 degree temperatures on Saturday to 50's on Monday. The crops were suffering from two weeks of dry and hot weather - and I fear will not recover in all areas often county with this rainfall we had this weekend. We had 1.25 inches at the office here in Urbana.

Soybean insect numbers continue low - few aphids, few Bean leaf beetle, few grasshoppers, etc.
Corn disease remains low as well. And now many fields around the county are at and past the dent stage, with several approaching black layer.
