I think this crop is being waterboarded.
Todd Easton Coles County June 19 2009: It just keeps coming rain rain and more rain. We have accumulated 2” between Tuesday and Thursday Rains here in central Coles County . Herbicide and Fertilizer Applicators have been sitting on the side lines as their window of opportunity gets narrower each day. This last front was pretty fierce and did a good job of laying down a lot of our shallow rooted corn crop. Similar to last year the low spots are looking sick yellow and stressed the main difference is these spots are much bigger this year. Soybeans are still not all planted but what has been is coming out of the ground everywhere but in the drowned out spots and is looking to have a good initial stand. Rain makes grain seems to be stuck in the mindset of the CBOT but nobody is accounting for the fact that like you and I a good drink of water for the corn in the summer is beneficial but drowning is not.
