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.

Scott-Greene Line
I worked both sides of the Scott-Greene line today. It was very dry and dirty. Most of the land I sampled was harvested seed corn. With the exception of one big operation with 5 combines going, I saw very little getting harvested. At least half the corn had few or no green leaves, so I suspect is fairly dry. The cooler temperatures made for pleasant working conditions, but the drought continues and soybeans show the stress more each day. I did walk into the edge of some soybeans and they were surprisingly well podded. Soybean harvest is still maybe a month away.
