Its been about 2 months since the Sioux Falls area had water standing everywhere.
Here is a crop report for extreme NWIA.
In the past 6 weeks I have only had about 2 tenths after planting into mud. It has been hot here also, 95-105 for the past 10 days while the corn is trying to pollinate.
Crops on good ground that got planted into decent conditions and on time look pretty good thanks subsoil moisture from the 25" of rain we had between last Oct and this May.
Lighter ground looks like crap and so does the ground that was "mudded in". Planting into mud and then no rain makes for bad crops.
My father farms some "light" ground (light ground here would be called gravel in most places) along a river. If he doesn't get rain in the next week he will have a bunch of corn under 50 bu/acre and beans under 30.
Sure hope everyone that needs rain gets it soon.
