For some farmers in the Western Corn Belt, stalk quality is a top concern.
Jerry Baysinger farms near the Southeast Nebraska town of Bruning. “We’ve got some dryland corn and even dryland beans that are starting to meltdown from the last week to 10 days heat that we’ve had,” he says.
Jay Reiners grows corn and soybeans near South-Central Juniata, and says a late June hailstorm hurt his corn crop.
