NW Indiana | I guess I’m still not seeing the 13 bushel increase in IL. Personally im cutting beans below aph so hard to be positive. I still think we shake out around last year on corn.
ALABAMA
Lawrence County (north Alabama) - 40 bpa will be about it for the beans .A great start followed by a hot dry month slammed them.
ILLINOIS
DeWitt County (central IL) – First field of beans made 91 bpa, vs. 79 bpa 2 years ago.
Piatt County (central IL) – 500 acres of corn averaged 262 bpa this year, vs. 249 bpa last year.
Champaign County (central IL) – First field of corn averaged 266 bpa this year, vs. 240 bpa 2 years ago.
McLean County (central IL) – 4 fields of corn harvested. Field #1 made 230 bpa, 3% above the APH. Field #2 made 204 bpa, down 4% from 2 years ago. Field #3 made 231 bpa, down 4% from last year. Field #4 made 197 bpa, down 18% from last year. So variable is the word here. It will be a big crop, but I question whether it will be a record breaker.
McLean County (central IL) – 43 acres of beans made 55 bpa.
