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.
Pretty nice week of weather here again — moderate rainfall with some time to get planters in the field. Most are done, like us, or not too far from the finish line. We are very lucky in our area. We’ve had almost perfect weather for spring. Early-planted soybeans have really taken off this w…
Mixed bag of weather here in east-central Missouri. Not much in the way of field work — trying to dodge rain showers. Planters were rolling from May 2, 3 and 4 when rain shut most of us down for the most part — a bit of spraying but that’s about all. Early-planted beans are a good stand with…
Not a good week of growing conditions here in east-central Missouri. Temps way too cool, putting a halt to an awesome start on corn and soybeans! Corn stands here in our world, what we have come up so far, is totally fabulous as well as early-planted beans. Wheat is off to a great start with…
Another week of great growing conditions here in east-central Missouri. Rain showers stopped planters from rolling along too crazy. Those that have wheat applied the last application of fungicide recently, and it really started to look good. Early corn is about V2 or a bit taller, early plan…
2026 is already off to a big start. Some much-needed rain fell this week here, anywhere from 2 to 4 inches from Tuesday night until Saturday morning (April 18). Corn planters are rolling when weather permits with early-planted corn up and in most cases a perfect stand. Early-planted beans ar…

Overall, this cropping season has been very challenging to say the least. Early-planted corn was really good, as were early-planted beans. That being said, later-planted crop yields were all over the board depending upon if you received rainfall in a timely manner. Some farms were way below …
Nothing done this week with the rain and cloudy conditions. Some fertilizer being spread, but not much because of the high prices. Some soybeans left yet to cut, but overall things are winding down.
Finally received some much-needed rainfall Oct. 18-19 — almost 2 inches, the first decent rain in about 10 weeks. Combines are starting to see the end, but there are still beans to cut yet. This week seems to look pretty wet. Some fertilizer being applied, but not a lot — people are waiting …
Very productive week here in central Missouri with many bean fields disappearing fast. Yield reports are all over the board. If you got lucky and caught rain, they aren’t too bad, but lots of other places are seeing 30-40% reduction in trend line yields. Finally got some measurable rainfall …
Combines rolling and fields are disappearing very fast. Corn for the most part is done, but some switched to beans so have a little left to pick. Beans are really dry, but with the good weather combines keep rolling through fields. Yields are all over the board depending on planting date and…
Another week of dry weather here in central Missouri with no rain in the forecast to speak off. Temps in the upper 80s. It’s not bad, but some fall weather would sure be welcome! Not many cornfields left; most are cutting beans. Early-planted has been close to trend line yields with some exc…
Early-planted cornfields are disappearing fast with good yields, but June-planted corn yield potential is not so great. Bean yields are all over the board. What we have cut so far are 25-30% below trend line yields. It might get better once we get to earlier-planted, but the hot, dry August …
Well, it was supposed to be cooler, but with the humidity here in central Missouri, not so much! Very little rainfall to speak of here. Early-planted cornfields are disappearing very fast, with yields in some places way above trend lines. Some beans are ready to cut, while most fields need a…
