Much of the Indiana corn crop is already gone. I’ve seen several farmers have already turned over the fields. Most crops are 3’ tall and tasselled.

There are a few green fields out there but they are few.

I was out in NE Iowa last week and the corn was turning that silvery green. Not good at all.

B-I-L has half his farm planted in corn and he’s worried.

Was doing some planting for my mom in her garden and was digging down a foot. The “black” earth was gray and dry as a bone.

I drove across a big swath of the midwest on vacation last week. I didn't see good corn until I got east and north of Dayton, OH. Pretty much all corn from border to border in Indiana on I-70 was tasseling but there was no ear in most cases and in some cases an ear but no silk to catch the pollen. If it rained 6" tomorrow, the crop all looks to be a complete loss to me.
