We made our return trip yesterday. Crops on the Illinois leg looked better than Iowa for the most part. I know that not too far from I 72 conditions are dryer. The map below is the past 14 days rainfall. Illinois is in the center. The blue areas have had less than a half inch. Some of the blue area are really dry.
