“Stands were tough early on, but we got some rain that really helped get things through. Although we are hot and lack of rain, there is moisture that the plants are going for that I believe will keep them sustained overall.” – Red River Valley, Northwestern Minnesota

“100% yield potential but need rain.” – Southeast Michigan

“Looks good but need more moisture.” – Eastern South Dakota

“Since some heat has arrived, the crop is looking decent.” – Northern Missouri

“Planted into heavy cover crop, good stand, growing fast, 3" rain in June.” – Southeastern Indiana

“4-leaf corn beginning to roll leaves on best ground now.” – Northern Illinois

“No rain in 5 weeks.” – Central Illinois

"Corn is wilting up pretty bad across most fields, regardless of soil type. Corn on corn acres look poor, especially in the late afternoons. Beans are short and just not growing, but history tells us they can hold on longer than corn. The ‘big’ rain event that hit us last week, dropped a whopping tenth to two tenths. It was gone by the afternoon.” – West Central Iowa

“Not had much rain in the last week and none expected for week to 10 days.” – Northeastern Indiana

“Because of last year’s dry conditions and this year’s very dry conditions, a lot of corn fields in our area are showing carryover chemical problems in corn fields. Corn stands vary all over, some good and many showing slow growth. Light soils show corn has stopped growing. Corn will be needing moisture more and more as it continues its slow growth. Many more 90s and very little forecast for any meaningful moisture in the week ahead.” – Western Iowa

“Have not had any rain for 2 weeks.” – Central Iowa

“Side hill corn plants have lost subsoil water connection showing the most stress.” – Southeast Iowa

“Corn is rolling in the afternoon even on heavy ground. Never seen corn roll this early in the growing season even in 1988, 2012 drought years. Soybeans showing slow growth due to lack of moisture.” – North Central Iowa

“Received ~8" of rain in May. One storm was 4". Need to replant some low-lying areas. Heat units have dried up the low spots. Will be replanting this weekend.” – Northern Minnesota

“We had some delayed emergence due to heavy rains.” – Northern Kentucky

“Had to replant some because of early weather but overall crop looks good.” – Southern Illinois

“Extremely uneven emergence, extremely dry, frost didn't help it either, very little rain for the month of May and June so far and very hot!” – Southwestern Wisconsin

“Slow coming up. Decent stand overall. 2.5 inches of rain in last 2 days, water standing in low areas of the fields.” – Central Indiana

“Rain is needed more for the beans than the corn due to the root system. They are holding on but rain would go a long ways.” – Red River Valley, Northwestern Minnesota

“Soybeans have seemed to have so far weathered the very dry conditions here. Emergence was good and so far, they have begun to show some early growth. Dryness will eventually be seen in their continued growth if no moisture and continued very hot conditions continue.” – Northwestern Iowa

“Crop holding up good to the amount of rain we have got.” – Northeast Arkansas

“Very slow growth rate because of extremely dry weather!” – Southwest Wisconsin

“Have some weed issues because we have not been able to get into spray til now.” – Central Michigan

“Beans have slowed growth substantially. Even weeds have slowed too.” – Western Iowa

“Hard rain after planting followed by 80 and 90 temps baked the ground hard poor to very poor stands in areas.” – Southern Indiana

“Drought and volunteer corn is taking its toll!! Days away from significant damage!!” – Central Iowa

“Stand could be a little better.” – Northern Missouri

“Not the best stands.” – Southeast Michigan

“Battled cool temps and herbicide injury.” – Southern Nebraska

“No-till uneven emergence; had plenty of frost damage.” – Central Iowa

“Had to replant around 12% of this year's soybean crop that was frozen off.” – Northwestern Iowa

“Replanted.” – Northern Minnesota

“Wheat doesn't like excess heat and it's pushing the crop into early heading here soon.”

“We are about 5 days away from losing this crop.”

“Spring wheat started heading out in the last few days. Hot, dry, and windy conditions. Expecting below average yields.”
