We have just had several days of wet weather. You could get the idea that the effects of dry weather have been averted. If you study the map, You will find that there are many areas that had only a half inch, especially to the west. On the plus side, many parts of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Indiana had good rain. Some of the early planted corn is good till silking time, which is coming in two weeks. Later planted corn was helped as far as getting roots to grow deeper, but probably more than half of the corn I have seen will need more rain to assure a decent crop. I have not seen anything that leads me to believe that corn yields will be above trend line. Early planted soybeans are looking good, but later planted soybeans have population issues.
