Todd Easton Coles County August 19 2011: The drought persists this week with only another small shower occurring in some places and having much affect on the moisture situation. Producers are starting to make their advance preparations for harvest. Most are not anticipating the need to use some of their smaller out of the way grain bins this fall after the yield estimate came out Monday. The magic number that teams brought out of the corn fields was 146.15 bushels per acre. It looks like the southern townships will have a shot at being the high yielder for the year because of more precipitation coming through that area. Another couple of weeks and yield monitors will be telling us for sure what is in those fields. Soybeans are hanging in there and could really use the chances for rain in the forecast this weekend to pan out but seeing is believing this year.
