Corn continues to mature. It is pretty amazing to drive by these crops on a daily basis. Here are a few more photos to show growth and maturation of this years corn crop.
The first photo shows a large stand of corn that stretchs to the south as far as the eye can see. This would be to the right of the picture. I estimate that this field is better than 200 acres. The dark green color is soybeans. This corn has been in the silk stage for more than three weeks.
The second photo will show a corn crop just across the road from the park. It was shot on the 25th. The second photo is of same view on the 17th. If you will note this stand of corn is about a foot taller.
Photo number 4 shows a stand of corn shot from the park parking lot. It was shot on the 25th and the second photo on the 17th. The corn has grown another foot in that time. You may not notice it but this stand is already starting to tassel. I expect that when I pass this stand tonight that it will be in full tassel.
It just goes to show, that even though many crops were planted late this year, that with ideal growing conditions rapid growth and maturation can and will occur.
