Road Trips

I have been to to Belleville and Jacksonville in the last two days.  My 55 MPH crop survey says that corn and soybeans both are a bit uneven.  What that means at least in the areas I have been is that the crops are unlikely to reach their full yield potential.  Corn in low places is yellow, meaning that nitrogen is used up or gone prematurely in those spots.  Areas with good drainage look good.  Moisture will not be short at this stage of crop development.  I am not good at yield guesses without walking into fields so don't ask.
