There are not really a lot of surprises in this week's crop report. I question a little bit the 87% of soybeans blooming. It's August 1 and soybeans start to bloom no matter what around this time. I admit some of the very late planted beans my not be blooming yet.
The thing that caught my eye is the heat. Temperatures were 6 degrees above "normal". That is quite a departure. Growing degree days are also ahead of normal. Rainfall for the week was close to "normal", but 47% say that moisture is short or very short. That looks a bit odd, but when your corn is rolling because of the heat, it is hard to say moisture is adequate.
