hot in il

this past week has been very hot in il. with heat advisories over the past few days. the crops seem to be managing ok do to adequate moisture. beans seem to moving along somewhat slow compared to corn. the corn between the wet holes looks great. there has been alot of fungicide applied the past few weeks. we chose not to apply. grain prices at local coop this morning, c-4.75, sb-12.29. fert prices at coop n-1095, dap-1200, pot-970. for those who dont know that equals about 300 per acre to fertilize for corn. and farmers savior monsanto jacked the tech fee 100 per bag on seed corn. that is at least to company's who by their traits.
