| My observation has always been that is takes a lot more water than we think after July 1st to raise a great crop even with good subsoil moisture.
I would only assume that some of the rooting structures in the Western corn belt are not what they should be because of conditions at planting time. When the soil dries out and the roots are shallow or confined to a restricted area because of compaction the plant will suffer quicker regardless of subsoil moisture. Some of the area out west look to be moving into a hotter drier weather pattern. Time will tell but there is no replacement for missing much needed rains. | |

Is it enough?
