Crop Watch corn and soybean fields were stressed last week under mostly dry conditions, but multiple rounds of rain over the weekend prevented yield expectations from declining.
Last week’s Crop Watch rain totals were mostly concentrated over the weekend, though not all areas received the needed soaking.
More than 3 inches of rain were observed in South Dakota, Nebraska, western Iowa and western Illinois, and Indiana picked up 2 inches.
For example, the western Iowa producer this week described his beans as phenomenal while the Ohio field was said to look incredible.
The North Dakota corn is in Griggs County and the soybeans are in Stutsman County.
