I hate to buck trend but we need a week or two of heat with that much humidity so we can harvest in a timely fashion. . Here crops were loving it, 95 degrees but humidity so high that your shirt was wet at 8 in the morning. It’s the 35 mile an hour dry winds on a 95 degree day that really take off bushels. I am not a Joe fan but 4or 5 days of heat are not a disaster. In 2021 when wind blew for weeks, no dew, no humidity, that is when crops go backwards fast. Unless you have big cracks in your fields than your crops will be fine, maybe less bushels but from what level. Illinois guys are you taking soybeans from 85 to 75 or is it 65 to 55? Don’t answer until you combined them. Extended looks below normal temps which will not help us at all. It gets a little old when guys that have had perfect everything this year complain about a very small setback. I don’t mean to offend but let’s see what final yield ends up before we post how tough it is.
