We are firing up tomorrow (Monday, Aug. 31)! The hot weather that’s blowing in this week will have a lot of the corn dried down enough for the farmers in the area to start running.
Our corn is around 28-30% moisture. Some of the local farmers that are drying their corn down are just starting to fire up and get into the fields. The soybeans are still filling pods. They are looking really good!
We haven’t really seen any disease pressure. We got 1.5 inches of rain this last week. We are on track to have a phenomenal corn and soybean crop! Some of the March-planted corn is starting to dry down. Combines will be firing up in this area within the next few weeks.

This last week we’ve had a couple small showers come through. Both the corn and beans look really good this year. It’s been a fairly cool last couple weeks, and the crops have had minimal stress.
We got an inch of rain this last week. The corn is definitely finished out and is good on rain. The soybeans are filling pods like crazy right now! We are forecasted to get another rain this coming week, which will really help. It’s been a great growing season in northwest Missouri!
We got a quarter inch of rain this last week. The crops are still looking good, but they could sure use a couple inches of rain with this upcoming forecast looking warm! The double-crop beans are also off to a good start and could use the rain as well.
It’s been a hot and dry week. The corn and beans are both looking really good! We haven’t gotten any rain in 10 days now. The corn is showing a little stress just in the areas where the roots struggled during the growing season, but the majority of fields look great! The soybeans are filling…
Everything is looking great! We got 2 inches of rain last week. Our corn fungicide is complete. The early soybeans are getting fungicide sprayed on this week.
We got another 1.5 inches of rain. The corn is fully tasseled, and fungicide is starting to go on. The soybeans are fully canopied and really starting to fill out!
It’s been overcast all week and showers every couple days. We’re trying to get our wheat harvested. The crop conditions haven’t been suitable yet, but the next week’s forecast brings hope!
It has been rainy and overcast most of the last week. Some of the early-planted corn is starting to tassel as well as the early-planted beans are flowering!
We got another 2 inches this last week. The corn is looking great, and the soybeans have been looking better and better with this heat we’ve had this last week!
The last week we have received anywhere from 2 to 5 inches of rain. There has been some flooding in the bottom ground, and the hill ground has its wet spots with water standing as well. Our corn ground is super clean, and it’s canopied. The soybeans have quite a bit of weed pressure coming i…
We’ve received another 2 inches of rain this week, followed by some sunshine and heat. This was a really great growing week in northwest Missouri. Our corn is mostly around the V6 growth stage. Soybeans are starting to grow outwards more and bush out. Everything is looking better.
Both the corn and soybeans have emerged and are off to a pretty good start so far. We received over 3 inches of rain this week, which has kept things wet across the area. The crop could definitely use some warmer temperatures and sunshine this coming week to help spur growth and let fields d…
Most of the corn is now in the V4-V5 growth stage and is looking healthy overall, with the recent warm temperatures really helping crop progress. The early-planted soybeans look great. We had a few areas that had to be replanted due to frost or water damage, but everything is in the ground a…
We received another round of light rain this week. The corn pretty much all emerged and is looking healthy overall and progressing well with the warmer temperatures. The later-planted soybeans are starting to come up, and some earlier-planted beans that took a hit from last week’s frost and …
Weather challenges returned this last week. A hard, fast-moving storm Sunday brought around 2-3 inches of rain in a short period, leading to some big washouts and saturated soils. In addition, a frost on Thursday caused damaged in some soybean fields, with certain areas needing to be evaluat…
We were able to finish planting both corn and soybeans this week just ahead of another round of rain that brought about 0.5 inches. Field conditions have continued to be challenging for farmers in the area with frequent rains slowing progress, but we were thankful to get everything wrapped u…
Over the past two weeks, planting progress has been slowed by frequent rainfall, with systems moving through every three to four days. Last Friday, our area was under a tornado warning, bringing marble-sized hail along with nearly an inch of rain. Conditions have finally allowed us to return…

This year had its share of swings. We started with a favorable spring planting window that allowed us to get in early and clean. Early-season moisture was timely, though we did battle some heat and dry stretches in late summer. The crop held on better than most were expecting thanks to early…
Weather has turned cooler, and conditions have mostly dried out this week. Harvest is wrapped up here, and we were very pleased with all the yields! Field work is in good shape with guys starting some fall tillage and fertility programs underway. We are prepping for fall spraying. Cover crop…
