Eighty-nine percent of soybeans were setting pods or beyond, slightly ahead of average.  Sorghum coloring was 37 percent, well ahead of the seven percent average.  Dry beans setting pods stood at 86 percent, equal to the five-year average.

The good to excellent condition ratings for each crop were as follows: corn and soybeans, both 70 percent; sorghum, 60 percent; dry beans, 81 percent; and alfalfa hay, 60 percent.  Alfalfa hay third cutting was 68 percent complete, equal to the five-year average.
