This was the first week it hasn't rained since April 1, 25" total in 11 weeks. Corn is OK but yellow short areas in every field and too wet to get in to side dress. Bean stands are fine except on terraces but they are short in height. Hay making is challenging but good production on grass hay not so much with alfalfa...too wet. Pasture growth is phenominal. With current grain prices, it will be a stretch to break even. Such is farming. We are SW of Creston, 15 miles from the Mo. line.
