Northwest Iowa Crop Report: August 22, 2012

Our area was blessed with another 4 tenths of an inch of rain in the past week. Corn is 85% dented with some almost near black layer. The crop is looking good on ground where there’s good soil and high fertility; corn on light ground is being chopped this week for silage. Soybeans are in the R5 to R6 stage and are staying green. Soybeans are blooming on top, so rain now will help fill in those top blooms.
