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.

West Alton
Crop news from West Alton today is that most corn is planted, emerged and progressing nicely. Yes we would like it to be further along, but moisture is good to excessive, so if drainage is good, corn is good. Soybeans are just emerging to bifoliate stage. Stands seem fine. There are still soybeans to be planted, and the rivers are high, so wet spots are holding water. I expect some will drain out and get planted, and others will be prevented planting. No diseases or insects to report today.
Is much of the ground tiled down that way? It is spotty around here but can't get any tilers on the calendar because they are so backed up.
ReplyDeleteMost of the land in West Alton Area is not tiled. In my area near Hillsboro maybe half is tiled.
