Weekly Crop Conditions Report

East Central Iowa: Recieved 1 3/10" on Sunday. Should really help the last cutting of hay. Very thankful, last rain was 10 days ago and there is no rain in forecast. Once again, I think we may have trimmed a little more off of yield for both corn and beans in the last week because of the warm temps.(85-90+) and shortage of moisture. My unofficial view is high moisture corn will start in 1-2 weeks.
