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 trendline yields and some way above. Too much rain in April, May, June and into July made it hard to get weeds under control without breaking the bank, not to mention getting crops planted. Then we had a hot and dry August with limited rainfall in certain areas, making later-planted corn and beans really struggle. Overall, I’d give our growing season a 5 out of 10. Hopefully next year will be normal, but not sure what that is anymore!
