Summer humidity highest on record
How much damage have high temperatures done to the Cornbelt corn crop?
That question will not be answered for awhile though we will get some idea in the August WASDE report from USDA. Jerry Gidel of North American Risk Management highlighted some information from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, a service of Iowa State University's Department of Agronomy, today that puts July temperatures and humidity in some historical context. The details can be found at the IEM site.
The average low temperature for July 1-25 this year was the second highest on record — second only to those of 1936 at the depths of the “Dust Bowl” years. Those high temperatures can damage a corn crop if there is not enough moisture available but humidity helps corn plants maintain moisture and keep growing.
Humidity this year has been the highest on record, breaking the previous record set last year.

USDA Weekly Recap
Last week’s high heat and humidity were concerns, but adequate moisture levels helped crops come through the extremes without substantial stress, the USDA said in its weekly crop report Monday afternoon. Insect populations in soybean fields appear to be on the rise with many fields being treated. Flooded acreage along the Missouri River appears to be stabilizing in many areas; however, as levee breaches widen, some areas are seeing additional acres flooded.
Ninety percent of the corn crop is now tasseling, behind last year’s 92 percent, but ahead of the average 80 percent, the USDA said. Three-quarters of the corn crop is silking, which remains behind the 82 percent in 2010 but is ahead of the five-year average of 65 percent.
