Todd Easton Coles County August 05 2011: More heat more dryness brought fourth another hard week for the crops in the field. We did once again see 2 to 4 tenths last Friday but this size of rainfall seems to do little to help out the situation. Corn plants are beginning to fire up in several fields some worse than others and without significant rainfall soon will die off before any kernel fill occurs hurting yields even more. The beans are also waiting for some water and hopefully will get some before they just give up on making decent pod counts. We are defiantly in the 11th hour with this crop and hopefully the small chances forecasters are giving us for this weekend develop something to avert a total disappointment at harvest time.
