A northeast Iowa farmer says his corn is bouncing back after
several inches of rain last week.

Bob Hemesath of Decorah says he picked up four and-a-half inches in the span of a couple days.

“Things are coming around pretty good. There’s some yellow spots (because) we had more rain than we needed last week, but overall the crop I’d say is looking really good to excellent.”

The corn-on-corn farmer says because of rolling hills and contours, side-dressing nitrogen is not an option.
