Greene County and some surrounding areas have seen quite a bit of weather changes impacting crops.

Landus Cooperative Field Agronomist Zach Minnihan says following a wet spring the opposite is now more true.

“We’re just tipping the scale toward the other spectrum of drying out a little bit during this pollination time, especially on the corn. The soybeans, they’ve come a long ways. But they’re still just a little bit stagnant. Again they’re just kind of playing catch up still from late planting dates and early season stress too.”

Despite not having very hot days for crops to capture heat-degree units, Minnihan says corn isn’t too impacted by that.

“For the corn being a grass crop, it really likes some of these cool nights too. So we’re getting a little droughty but the corn is really not stressing like it rolls up and gets really hot and drought stricken.”

He believes the way weather patterns have worked out this year, harvest season shouldn’t be too far delayed from a typical year.
