A corn researcher says the northern corn belt is having a much better 2020 growing season than the southern corn belt.
Joe Lauer with the University of Wisconsin tell Brownfield in his state, the crop has had a good year weather-wise compared to some areas in the southern and eastern corn belt. “Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, those areas there are a little bit dry over there, but we’re experiencing pretty good corn conditions right here, right now.”
And, he says the recent rains in the upper Midwest have been welcome.
