I worked in the Virden area today. I would estimate over all that corn is about 15% harvested. There was lots of machinery in the field and lots of farm traffic on the roads. It is a time of year to be extra cautious driving in the countryside.
With Hurricane Isaac underway, there is a hope that extra rain might help the soybean crop. It was my observation today that maybe 20% of the soybeans are turning yellow in my area. Those will not be helped much by additional rain. I am hoping that the soybeans that are still green will fill with big beans.
The weather forecast is weird. The greatest chance of showers for the weekend is 70%. The national hurricane center says we could get 3 to 5 inches of rain. How can that be??
