Crop Watcher Week Seven - SSDW (same showers different week)


Todd Easton Coles County June 11 2010: Same weather different week in Coles County as spotty precipitation seems to come around at regular intervals. In spite of the weather progress is being made in spraying and side dressing with most all the work for the corn crop completed and attention being focused on soybean spraying. Corn and soybean crops have both had a good development week once again with corn maturities ranging in the V8 to V11 stages and beans in a wide range from VE to V5. Hay balers have finally had a good enough stretch in spite of the precipitation to get a lot of cutting and some bailing done this week hauling out many loads of bales brought on by the wet spring.
