E.C. Iowa: things are looking good in my area despite temps in the 90's and heat index's in the 95-100F range for the last week . Corn is just starting to tassel around here. most will start here in the next week. Corn is starting to roll on the lighter ground in spots(seen more to the south). We were lucky to catch .8-1" rain a week ago Monday/Tuesday morning. Last planted beans are knee high and looking good. No real bug pressure yet. Did hear of Japanese beetles west of here. Some are putting in insecticide and fungicide with 2nd pass spray. Did have to spray 3rd crop hay for leaf hoppers. As I have been saying all year.....we are very lucky in my area and still feel for those of you who went from flooding to a drought.
1st picture is 30" corn planted 5-17-30.
2nd picture is 15" corn(40K population,100 day) planted May 1.
3rd & 4th pictures are the last field of beans planted 6-4-13.
