Farming Between The Rains

Conditions here in southwest Iowa and northwest Missouri have been WET, to say the very least! We seem to be getting rain about every other day, along with strong winds. For the most part, crops look good but in the bottom and side hills, they are struggling. Guys are having a hard time getting beans sprayed and hay cut. There has been a fair amount of fungicide being put on the corn when time is allowed. I was down by Creston last week and saw some corn just coming up. There are also a few guys that are still replanting beans. It seems like every year it is something new and this year is no change.
