Really good week of weather here in east-central Missouri. No rain at all made for harvest progress on soybeans. Not much left in the fields around here! A few people spreading fertilizer along with some minimal amount of tillage, I would think with the high fuel prices farmers might be wait…

Wonderful week of weather here in east-central Missouri. Combines running hard and soybean fields disappearing in a hurry. Most will be in the home stretch for harvest 2026. If the weather holds this week, most will be done. Some spreading of fertilizer but not a lot. A slight amount of fall…
Rain put a halt to combining beans here in east-central Missouri. Monday and Tuesday was great weather for combines to roll, but then rainy cloudy weather put everyone out of the fields. We received about an inch of much-needed rain but were not able to get into the fields again until Oct. 1…
Wonderful week of weather here in east-central Missouri, very warm and sunny which made it ideal for cutting beans. Most have been reporting higher-than-average yields in our area. The only problem is so many fields are really green, but the beans are dry. Looks almost like chopping silage w…
Pretty decent week of weather here in east-central Missouri. The week was supposed to bring big rainfall, but we didn’t get much, which meant combines rolled pretty hard. Very few corn fields left around our area, but combines are hitting the bean fields as fast as they can. Overall the bean…
A not-so-productive week here in east-central Missouri. Rain on Monday led to cloudy days where no soybean combines could run. Soybean yields are above normal from what we have cut so far. Others that are still picking corn had a very productive week as they were able to keep moving with the…
Corn fields in east-central Missouri are disappearing fast with the dry weather, and yields have been pretty much at trend line for most. Some higher yields have been reported in better soil types but overall yields have been good. Finished corn Saturday the 19th and switched to cutting bean…
When the combines hit the corn this past week, with the heat it was unreal how the corn had dried down in just a few days. We were able to pick corn and not have to burn gas to get it dry. It was coming out of the field less than 15%. Yields have been close to normal most places, while a few…
Sunny and hot here in east-central Missouri. Combines are starting to hit the fields. Hot, dry weather has pushed the moisture out of corn big time. Reports from the area are some very good yields coming from corn fields. Beans are still a least 10 days out yet, but they could use a good rain!
Another beautiful week of weather here in east-central Missouri. Moderate temps made it very nice to work outside. A few combines have hit the field, but high moisture seems to be the norm. We hit a couple fields where moisture was in the mid-20s. Beans are turning really slow, although some…
Another good week of weather here in east-central Missouri. Not much has changed, just basically waiting for corn to dry down. Combines patiently sitting on the sidelines for now. In another week we should start to see some moving. Beans continue to look really good. It will be a bit for the…
Sunny, hot and humid here in east-central Missouri this week. We received about 1.1 to 1.3 inches of rain on Wednesday the 12th and another inch on Sunday the 16th. Corn is turning slowly. It will be a couple weeks before combines start to hit the fields. Moisture on our fields were in the m…

Pretty nice week of weather here in east-central Missouri. Some much-needed rainfall came on Thursday, Aug. 6, anywhere from 3.5 to 2.5 inches over our region. Beans in our area should be really good if we get one more rain. Later-planted have a little while to go yet. Later-planted corn has…
Sunny, hot and humid early in the week led to some much-needed rainfall late in the week. Anywhere from 2.5 to less than 1.2 inches of rain along with a lot of cooler temps. Early beans should be really good if the forecast for rain holds true next week. Should be some yields above trendline…
Sunny, hot and humid here in east-central Missouri seems to be the norm with limited rainfall. Early-planted corn is pretty well made while later-planted could use some good moisture along with cooler weather. Beans continue to look good, but they really could use a good rain with lots of fu…
Hot, dry week here in east-central Missouri. Early-planted corn is heading to trend line yields or slightly above while later-planted corn is just tasseling. Timely rains will mean good yields. Soybean fungicide application is in full swing at least on our farm, and I’m sure others are not f…
Wonderful week of weather here in central Missouri with temperatures in the upper 80s and receiving some very beneficial moisture. Not much to report other than corn fungicide is in full swing and soybeans not far behind. We should have some above trend-line yields for early corn, and if the…
Hot, dry week of weather here in central Missouri, but we are thankful for the rain we received June 26-27. Corn is tasseling in most places, and some like us are spraying fungicide at this time. Beans are growing fast with the warmer weather, but then so do the weeds. Spot spraying will be …
Rain seems to stay in the forecast here in east-central Missouri, although we have had good rains while others are not so lucky. Corn is mostly tasseled or starting to and looks really good so far, but with the wet weather forecast that could change. Beans are making up for lost time with th…
Really nice week of weather here in east-central Missouri, which finds us with a lot of corn starting to tassel. So next week’s weather looks amazing for pollination. While receiving decent moisture this week we could be looking at some decent yields in our area. Beans are growing rapidly wi…
Mixed bag of weather here this week. Monday was very wet so everything came to a halt. But by late week sprayers were running in full force on corn and soybeans. Weeds seem to follow warm, wet weather as they grow fast. Most all corn has been top dressed in our area and really looking good. …
Pretty nice week of weather here. Lots of sprayers running post corn and beans while the weather is good. Finished topdressing corn like everyone else before it gets too tall. Early beans look really good as well as early corn. We will have corn tasseling in 7-10 days. Wheat is turning but n…
Pretty nice week of weather here. Lots of farmers finished planting the last of the soybeans. Lots of post application on corn and soybeans both along with top dressing corn. Crops are looking almost too good and growing rapidly. We will have corn tasseling by next weekend.
Not much to say here except wet weather. Crops are growing at a snail pace with the weeds getting bigger. Hopefully it dries up soon so sprayers can get in the field! We had anywhere from 3 to 4.5 inches of rain Monday with creeks overflowing their banks.
