Recent rainfall and moderating temperatures have really helped the current corn and bean crop.  We have seen some ears of corn at the elevator that are 16 rows around and 34 kernels long. A 110 day maturity corn planted on April 25 should hit black layer around September 5.  With continued moderated weather and another timely rain or two, we could be looking at a really nice harvest. Here is the NOAA 8-14 day precip outlook.
