Green County

Description

Soils are dry down to the 3 foot depth level and corn is really suffering on shallow soils. Much of the crop is now trying to shoot tassels under severe stress and pollination will be very poor in many fields unless we receive significant precipitation within a week. Some have already starting chopping poor corn, but moisture levels are still too high (75-80%) for proper storage and fermentation. Forages and grain will be in short supply. Many farmers will not cut third and fourth crop due to little regrowth.
