e.c.Iowa: Sounds like the heat is coming to eastern Iowa starting Tuesday. There is 0% chance of rain in the extended forecast. I am starting to get the feeling that our excellent crop is going to start going the other way .Corn is filling kernels and without rain we will definitely start taking off the top end. We have been limping by for the last 45 days by catching .4" -.6" here and there about once a week ,but our luck may be running out .The sky isn't falling , but the cloud deck is defiantly getting lower. Picture is of corn on corn 40K in 15" rows(at planting) in a gumbo bottom that will be chopped for feed. Only picked 2 ears and they were 12 x 30 . 135-145 bpa would be my guess today. Last year the field made 50 bpa.
