Written yesterday morning:
"Roger, I am in one of the dry pockets of NE Iowa (about 45 minutes north of Waterloo). I have had a little over an inch of rain since the 4th of July. Yesterday, when I was taking a load of beans to Shell Rock, I saw 3 choppers taking corn. I don't ever remember seeing choppers rolling by Aug 17.
I walked some fields last night and pollination was good but seed depth is lacking. Several farmers I talked to have speculated we will have lower test weight corn. BJ "
Thank you, Sir.
