Road Trip to Pella, Iowa

We took a road trip this weekend to Pella Iowa to visit family.  The Route out took us to Quincy then north to Muscatine, Iowa where we turned a but south then west to Pella.  The return trip was through Rock Island then over to Wyoming and thru Peoria turning south at Morton.  Crops looked decent North of Carthage, IL and on to Pella.  Return trip Crops looked decent as far south as Princeville, IL.  From there on, yellow and drowned corn was the rule.  I also have from a reliable source that says crops in Northern IL look much worse than even in our area south of Springfield.
