Purdue University Experts Address Indiana Corn and Soybean Variability Due to Weather
Dan Quinn, a Purdue University Extension corn specialist, reported that Indiana's corn crop experienced significant variability due to excessive rainfall in June. The state saw 15 to 20 inches of rain, leading to flooding and uneven crop development. Despite these challenges, Quinn noted that the crop has potential, with expectations around a 200-bushel yield. Shaun Casteel, a soybean specialist, highlighted similar issues for soybeans, with early planting followed by a wet, cool spring. Disease pressure has been low, but growers are advised to monitor fields for potential issues. The variability is highly localized, affecting different areas within the state differently.
