I was able to make a little run today from Columbia, MO to Centralia, MO to look at crop conditions. Last week's heat seemed to have taken a toll on the corn crop. Shallow soils were especially hard hit. Some of the corn in the photo will not add yield no matter how much rain we get. I also saw corn that looked even worse than this. Some corn has not silked yet. Some is just silking. Over all the soybeans looked good although I did not check flower set. Rains this weekend will help the soybean crop a good deal. Some corn will benefit, some will not.
