GreenReport Notes Increased Crop Stress Over Iowa

The Kansas Applied Remote Sensing (KARS) "GreenReport" map that compares vegetation measured by satellites from early August to late August, notes a sharp reduction across Iowa during the period. The image reflects a mix of conditions across central Illinois, with most of Indiana and Ohio showing increased greenness.

Below is KARS's "GreenReport Vegetation Condition Map." As noted by the key that accompanies the map, vegetative stress is measured across most of the western Corn Belt.
