can find corn that looks as good as that, especially at six in the morning. Perhaps that is from Leon Corzines field that will only make 150 bushel this year instead of its' normal 250. However, that is not typical, and if that picture was taken at 6 p.m., it might look greatly different. In broad terms, south of I-70 is silage corn. From there north to I-74 (roughly) is corn that will make 50 to 150. The jury is still out on corn north of there, although I suspect most farmers would be thrilled with their APH yield. However, the line of poor yields is moving north every day. NO ONE has said we will zero out as a state, but if you think Illinois at say 140 (optimistically IMHO) will pull very many states up, you may be on the wrong horse.
