Corn planting for 2013 got a late start in many parts of America. However, in most cases the farmers have completed planting and the corn and other crops are well on the way. This is a two week old photo from Washington County Iowa. I am told that the corn is nearly head high as of today.
A direct quote from the farmer.
"The corn is looking darn good this year. That corn in the picture was taken less than two weeks ago. When I get back, in a couple days, it will be over 6 feet."
"Conditions have been great, so far. To place conditions in prespective, I had my alfalfa test plot cut this past week. The farmer said the yield is going to be great. I also drove the polaris through some standing grass that is usually no higher than 4 feet. This year it was 6 to 8 feet tall."
"But, just like every year, there are a thousand things that can and will affect the end product. "
