Beck’s Agronomist Travis Coleman says although timely rains are needed, many crops in southern Indiana are in good shape.
“In talking with growers every day, that is definitely the first topic of conversation—how dry it is or how dry it has been,” he says. “As I walk a lot of acres, I don’t see that drought stress or heat stress really showing itself today. I’m not as concerned. I do think we need a timely rain here in the next 10 days, but overall, I’m really happy with the current condition of the crop.”
He tells Brownfield he continues to monitor fields for disease and weed pressure.
