There are some pretty awesome looking clouds around Ames right now. How have the storms been for the fanatics up north of Ames?

I really feel for the people that are missing this. Could make a huge yield difference for the crops.Just looked at the radar, storm system developed probably about 10 miles southeast of Carroll. Looks like no rain again for us.

Sounds just like around the Ames area. Hopefully Western Iowa can get something Thursday when our next best chance of rain is.The crops around here are on the verge of disaster. Soybeans are still holding on but they are very, very short and will be setting pods very close to the ground which will make harvest really hard. The corn looks worse every day and in some places is starting to die.

I don't know that I've heard a summer since I was old enough to care where farmers didn't make it sound doom and gloom.Not sure where you are located, but verge of disaster is a bit of an exaggeration. Last year at this time corn was dead halfway up the stalk and still yielded 110-145. Corn is still solid green, rain in the forecast, and temps during pollination in the low 80s. Could be much worse.
