Weather and Crop Report

My Illinois Weather and Crop Report came as usual today.  Many times I find something to disagree with, but today it seemed to match pretty closely what we are seeing in the field.  I can really only attest to West Southwest. 

Southeast IL says that 12% are very short on moisture and 25% very short.  Is the drought starting for them?  We have excess in my area, but showers have been spotty here too.  Southern Monroe County is very dry right now too.  The Northern part of the county had rain again today. 

Crop progress seems to match the 5 year average pretty well, but the past 4 have been so wet I think that average is skewed to late planting.
