Crop Condition, Bond, Madison, South Macoupin

Farming can be discouraging in years like this when your corn looks like the picture below.

 You wish you had an oil well in your field to supplement the ethanol you are trying to grow.

 Or maybe try to grow something a little easier to produce

Yes things did not look so good in the Sorento and Staunton areas today.  Corn will need to be harvested, but may not be 50% of average.
