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.
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.
