Comments: |
| Harvest is just around the corner with most early variety soybeans dropping there leaves and turning brown. Corn is green where leaf diseases and Goss wilt has not affected it. Around 50% of the corn in this area has matured and fields where leaf diseases are abundant will be getting harvested in the next few weeks due to standability issues. An early frost hit mid last week nipping the top of the soybeans and corn. This should not affect yields greatly but will cause some minor issues with grain fill. Grain markets have been in a downward trend for the last week to ten days due primarily to uncertain economic news from Europe. Grain demand is still strong and supply is uncertain so we may see a small recovery in the markets at the front end of harvest as poorer yielding fields with leaf diseases are harvested first. |
