Corn and soybean crops continue making progress

July 14, 2020 By Dar Danielson

The development of the corn and soybean crops continues to be ahead of past years.

The U.S.D.A. crop report says 35% of the corn is at or beyond the silking stage of development– which is eight days ahead of last year and two days ahead of the five-year average.

The report says 58% of the soybeans are blooming, which is two weeks ahead of last year and two days ahead of the five-year average. Around ten percent of the beans have set pods, which is also two weeks ahead of last year.

Both the corn and bean crops each are rated 83% in good to excellent condition.
