A western Missouri farmer says the following weeks will have
a large impact on his corn and soybean yields.
Todd Gibson farms outside of Norborne near the Missouri
river, he says while his corn looks good now, it’ll need more moisture to stay
in good condition.
“I’ve got some that’s just now starting to tassel, if it
get’s some rain that’ll help,” he said. “I’ve also got some corn that’s just
now waste high and it could use some more moisture here and there and it could
still turn either way right now is a critical time.”
Gibson said it’s too early to tell what his soybean crop will
shape into…
“The bean crop is still anybody’s guess, you know, it looks
good right now and it’s anywhere from just now coming out of the ground to four
or five inches tall,” he said.
