IARN — Iowa farmers received an update on crop conditions late Monday afternoon.
The weekly Crop Progress Report says Iowa’s corn condition rated 60% good to excellent for the week ending June 27th. Soybean emergence was virtually complete. Across the State, 19% of soybeans were blooming, 6 days ahead of the five-year average. There were scattered reports of soybeans setting pods. Soybean condition was rated 58% good to excellent.
USDA meteorologist Brad Rippey has a detailed regional look at corn conditions. He says drought has impacted corn throughout the country.
Rippey also takes a look at the latest soybean ratings throughout the region.
“The biggest problem showing up across the upper Midwestern states with the Dakotas and Minnesota,” said Rippey. “We see almost one-third, 31%, of the soybeans rated in very poor to poor condition in North Dakota, 23% in South Dakota, and Minnesota joined those two states this week in the double digits with 11% of the soybeans rated very poor to poor.”
In Iowa, the second cutting of alfalfa hay reached 7% complete, 4 days behind the 5-year average. Wet conditions slowed progress in some areas. Hay condition improved to 55% good to excellent, 6 percentage points above last week. Pasture condition also improved slightly to 40% good to excellent.
Some feedlots were muddy after recent rainfalls.
