Corn harvesting is underway as we hear in the weekly crop report. Just four days were suitable for fieldwork last week, but some producers got a little harvesting in says Crop Statistician Mark Schleusener.
77 percent of the corn crop is rated in good to excellent condition and 37 percent of soybeans are dropping leaves. Thanks to the widespread rains, average statewide topsoil moisture improved to 3 percent very short, 6 percent short, 65 percent adequate and 26 percent surplus.
