Up here where un-irrigated fields of corn saw yeilds in the 150-175 bushel/ac rate, this year they're predicting 50 bu/ac. Many are cutting their losses and chopping it into silage.
We're getting close to normal amounts of rain now, and the temps have really dropped - it was 48°F last night, and the past week has seen really, really heavy dew overnight. But it's too late for the moisture to do the crops any good now, all the kernels have been set.
If it keeps up, the Fall food plots should do O.K.
The rain that we've been getting hasn't been enough to replenish the ground water supply. Ground water pond water levels around here are still dropping daily.
