East Central Iowa: This has to be the strangest year I can remember. Beans seem to be at a stand still. Corn is all over the board. Drive from one field to the next,and you go from good to terrible right across the fence/or across road. Planting dates, crop rotation, weed control and /or tillage practices(including no-till) seem to have played a major role in our variability, but I personally can't put my finger on why things are so variable. We are not hurting for rain, but could definitely use it. Finishing 2nd crop hay, so far yields are ok.
