The USDA Report is in for September. I have no idea as to accuracy. I was expecting lower corn yields, but at this point I am not sure. I have heard rumors of yields in Southeastern, IL that are just about double the farm average.
The soybeans in the top picture are almost fully yellow. I think I got the greenest part of the field. Most fields are not this far along. The field below is right next to it and is still mostly green. I am curious about the effects of weeds on soybean yields. The lower photo is about average weed pressure in many of our fields. I could see a crop reporter saying is beans are in the bottom picture are in good condition, but are the really. I found this
old research report on weeds and soybean yield. THe abstract contains the results.
