A lot of corn is produced in the eastern SD, northern IA, southern MN area and if they experienced a scenario similar to S/SE IL in 2012, it would result in a correspondingly larger hit to national production. But is that even possible, I don't know. Maybe they have good enough soils to buffer the possibility, I'm not sure how long it's been since that area had large yield reductions due to drought.
And somewhat to that point, we're talking about a region where many counties actually had similar or BETTER yields in 2012 than they did when they had a horrible muddy spring following in 2013. Maybe why some of us have been skeptical about how badly the "May drought" was hurting them....
