Columbia Mo to Centralia Mo

I was able to make a little run today from Columbia, MO to Centralia, MO to look at crop conditions.  Last week's heat seemed to have taken a toll on the corn crop.  Shallow soils were especially hard hit.  Some of the corn in the photo will not add yield no matter how much rain we get.  I also saw corn that looked even worse than this.  Some corn has not silked yet.  Some is just silking.  Over all the soybeans looked good although I did not check flower set.  Rains this weekend will help the soybean crop a good deal.  Some corn will benefit, some will not.
