The view from the I-55 overpass north of Litchfield looks pretty promising despite the wet weather. Soybeans are in the foreground and corn in the background. I think corn and soybeans still have potential for an excellent crop despite the late planting. Wet areas will be a drag on some yields. Nitrogen may be an issue on corn especially if it was applied in the fall or in the spring without N-serve.
Soil Consulting and Crop Consulting in Illinois. You may call it soil testing, soil sampling, or soil health management, but it is more than that. These are my daily or weekly travels in soil and crop consulting and my observations in the agricultural world.

Livingston Staunton Litchfield Carlinville
I had a lot of stops today. I finished sampling 2 customers and worked on 2 others. Corn was knee high on 2 fields I walked. I was still able to use the 4 wheeler on other corn. Ground is very wet because of around 3 inches of rain in the past few days. One field was too wet to walk, but I did anyway because the corn was getting too big.
