S Illinois
In IL it was a combo. Lots of holes in that 2010 crop from continual rain after planting. Also the heat will be more centered on western NE/SD this week. A place like Bloomington IL has 4-5 days with a forecast of 90+/70+ and then back to normal. That will take yield off the very top end vs a 86/68 max but thats why average or trend isn't 190+ and is only 183.
Edit: The 2010 growing season(May 1-August 31) as a whole was extremely wet. 2026 won't approach the rainfall seen in 2010. 2010 was one of the wettest seen. Nothing can compare to 1993, but 2010 has a case for runner up wettest at least in the heart of the corn belt.
Edit 2: Other weather sources are showing only a day or two in the 90's in Bloomington IL. Doesnt look like much of a deal for the eastern Corn Belt and into the SE.
