Todd Easton Coles County August 14 2009: Another hot week here in Coles County as with the rest of the state. There was also no sign of moisture through the week as well which has caused field surfaces to get hard and cracked. Corn seems to be enjoying the heat and sunlight it is receiving and drawing on moisture reserves as it continues with ear production. The Soybeans are blooming and setting pods but have a long way to go for big yields. Rain as usual will be the crucial factor for both crops and will hopefully come before too long other wise we will see a lot of ears with unfinished tips and beans with less pods than we would like. Until next week cross your fingers for some rain or better yet say a quick prayer.
