08/12/11

Todd Easton Coles County August 12 2011: It has been another dry week in Coles County with only a teaser shower blowing through on Monday. The good news is that temperatures have cooled down which has been a relief to both crops and people. With the cooler temperatures the die off of the corn crop has slowed down but many disappointing ears are being pulled out of the fields. The Coles County Farm Bureau will be doing a yield check next week and I am sure everyone will be very interested in its findings. There is a significant chance for rain this weekend for a change and hopefully it materializes and puts some pods on the soybean plants that have been sitting in the field waiting for a drink. Keep your fingers crossed.
