The western leg of the crop tour took us through Minnesota Districts 4, 5, 7, 8 &9. It was the best crop I’ve seen in Minnesota.
The Iowa corn crop is plagued with disease, but has seemed to manage it well thus far. Soybean pod counts were strong.
We saw a very healthy corn crop overall along our route across the western leg. Soybeans will require rains for a strong finish.
