USDA data shows Illinois crop conditions took a step backward last week but a southwestern Illinois farmer is pleased with how his crops look as he preprares for harvest season.
Illinois Farm Bureau President and Randolph County Farmer Rich Guebert tells Brownfield, “Our corn crop really looks good, the beans really look good, I think there is an opportunity for a really good harvest.”
As of Sunday, the USDA rates Illinois corn 67% good to excellent, a 7-point drop on the week with soybeans also 67% good to excellent a 4-point drop.
