It’s been another hot, humid and gooey week here in central Illinois. There have been intermittent showers, though, to keep this crop moving forward. With these conditions comes the possibility of disease presence in corn and beans. I believe fungicide applications will pay back this year. Hay-making has been at a standstill as we await drier weather. The forecast shows that may happen by the end of the week as a cold front is poised to move through and bring a more comfortable environment.
