Jerseyville,IL | Can you say harvesting in Mud . If it keeps up long enough . Add to this Diplota (sp?) stalk rot , slow dry down , and any other relate conditions to excess
moisture. You end up with a mess fixing the ruts or problems indirectly related.
It may not cut what the plant produces , but can make harvest a long drawn out affair. Which results in big harvest losses . It can take
a great crop and move it to a good crop. It can make a clean field the biggest weed patch in the world .
Is it a tipping point I can't say, but as of today I have had 7.5 plus inches( and its raining now) for August normal is at most 2-3 inches max .
So if you needed rain I am sorry I don't have a way to share some .
And I am not a Bull or a Bear just had to many years harvesting in less than good conditions .

No way is this rain detrimental in the corn belt.
It's a positive IMO. Can't hardly be too wet right now.
Bulls are grasping for straws I see.
