The condition of the corn and soybean crops improved last week as we hear in the weekly crop report. It was cool and fairly dry last week, and crops fared pretty well says Crop Statistician Mark Schleusener.
7 percent of soybeans are now blooming and 70 percent of the crop is rated in good to excellent condition. Average statewide topsoil moisture stands at 2 percent very short, 17 percent short, 78 percent adequate and 3 percent surplus.
