Weekly Crop Update

Jackson County (e.c. iowa): Beans 70-80% done and corn only 15-25% done( my best guess). as we all probably  know, this year's yields vary greatly. beans 25-65 bu./acre and corn 50-180(field avg.) . from what I've heard and seen, depth of the dirt and previous fertilization history is making a huge difference this year(along with moisture)in the bean crop.received about 1/10 inch tuesday(first rain in over 5 -6 weeks) and there is talk of severe storms this weekend. we can only hope it doesn't blow the corn down.that would be like putting the icing on the cake for this year.
