Weekly Crop Conditions Report

East Centeral Iowa: I totally agree with just about everyone... that you could drive 10-20 miles from your house and see 0 to 180+ bu/acre corn. Beans as usual are hard to judge, like one of my seed dealers told me ..... final population, row spacing and seed size will make or break you as  far as final yield. Finally got some rain at my house August 16th, 8/10". Within 10 miles rain ranged from 1/4" to 1.5". First rain since Aug 4th (alot of damage has already been done since July 4th) no surprise, as this has been the pattern all year. Could be better, and it could be worse!
