Hard to believe that the Missouri River Bottom fields looked like this in June. Today we're drying out too fast. Some of the corn has started to fire the last couple of days, and east of here 20 miles it's even dryer.
Early planted corn will be pretty good, especially in the upland fields, but the later fields are going to be short.
Aphid counts in the soybeans are on the rise. We've never had to treat for those, but this year may be a first. Without rain soon it looks like the soybeans may start aborting pods.

At least the temperatures have been moderate, otherwise it would be worse.
