Here is an update that was just shot. The top photo is of Iowa corn in Washington County, Iowa. This corn is a nice even stand that is 12' plus.
This bottom photo is of corn in Hardy Co. West Virginia. This corn is also 12' plus. I have seen some stands that are near 14' tall. In the 23 years that I have lived in this area, I have never seen such tall corn. Now this does not mean that the harvest will be record also. Most of this corn is in the dough stage. Generally a large portion of the corn has already entered the dent stage. I have seen no evidence of this here in West Virginia, and I am also hearing the same for Iowa corn. The next 6 weeks will be critical for corn. If we have a early frost yield will suffer. If it is a late frost say after October 15th, yields will likely be quite good.
Stay tuned.
