Much of this area has received very little rain over the past 30 days. The corn is starting to show some stress. Areas with lighter soils have already taken a yield hit. T he corn is about to start pollinating, so favorable weather in the next week or two is important. Soybeans will start their critical period of pod fill in about two weeks.
