Crop Watcher Report for week of July 23

New week, same story. This week, temperatures returned to the triple digits putting additional stress to an already weather worn crop. No rain fell for the week although I heard of a rumor of an isolated shower in a small area. Some hay was made since my last report, but it appears some farmers are delaying cutting hay until a shower of rain moves through to assure another growth of alfalfa.

Local grain bids are corn, $8.17; soybeans $17.73; and wheat $8.88.

Have a safe week.
