Please share a few comments from your route:
We’ve had an extremely consistent crop—for both corn and beans. Every stop has been irrigated. We’ve also had essentially an extremely healthy crop with no major disease for corn or soybeans. We haven’t seen much wind damage either today or yesterday. It’s an extremely good standing crop with no bug or fungus issues to this point.
We stopped to talk with a local farmer. He said the crop is in great shape, but they are having to water more than they normally do—pretty much around the clock.
We did have one low beans sample that came from a wide, 36-inch row. Other than that, our pod counts have been really consistent.
