Im off the floor today to see how the crop is finishing. So far moving through Eastern Iowa i see a tremendous amount of standing water. I do admit there has been a lot of rain in the past 48 hours, but lacking any heat, there is a growing chance for root rot. With standing water and cool temps, this crop will not finish off as well as expected. This is a much bigger issue for beans than corn with the latter all but set. Beans still need to fill out to meet growing expectations. Continue to look for a corn yield at or above 160 Bu/Acre with beans struggling to get above 41.
I will be back tomorrow.
