Indiana corn crop starting to mature

Scattered heavy rainfall provided to some farmers relief while others experienced flooding and crop damage.

According to the Indiana Crop and Weather report, 73 percent of the corn crop is rated good to excellent with 82 percent of the crop in the dough stage, 41 percent dented, and 3 percent mature.  Soybeans that were setting pods received much-needed moisture, but excess water and humidity contributed to increased sudden death syndrome and foliar lesions in some areas.  However, 69 percent of the crop is rated good to excellent, with 94 percent setting pods and 3 percent dropping leaves.

In other crops around the state, 56 percent of the range and pastures are rated good to excellent.  Sixty-nine percent of the alfalfa hay is on its 3rd cutting and one percent on its fourth.
