Comments
This area was fortunate to mostly avoid storm damage from the “derecho” storm thatformed to our west and sped its way east across this territory. Rains were welcome but were uneven. More is certainly needed to maximize the potential that we still have. How much yield has been lost from either crop is hard to say, but its fair to say we’ve gone from potential for widespread record crops to still having potential for a “good” crop inmost areas. Beans could put on a lot of yield yet if rains are helpful. I’ve not heard statistics on fungicide applications this year but my hunch is that fewer acres were
sprayed. There is little leaf disease this year so the advantage to yield will be through improved plant respiration. How much benefit that provides will be unknown until harvest.
