Weather And Crop Report

Corn, soybeans and sorghum all seem to have deteriorated this week.  I am assuming the crop condition is mostly related to dryness.  Some parts of the state have gotten rain, so I expect to see some improvement next week.  55% of the state of Illinois was short or very short on moisture.  Illinois's soybeans seem to be in much better condition than corn, which sort of matches up with what I saw in Missouri on Sunday.  Air Temperatures were 6 or 7 degrees above average.  Not a good combination with the 55% short on moisture.
