Pretty damn dry:
Above is the current 30-Day Departure from Normal Precipitation map from
NOAA which shows that much of the middle of the nation is lagging in
rainfall by 1-4″.
Where we no-tilled corn into our wheat stubble, we've got some criminally bad looking corn. It makes me feel ill. It is so uneven and stressed looking, we're going to take a bath on those fields. Most of our other stuff doesn't look hateful, but a lot of corn in the area is getting close to tasseling, so we need rain soon. The forecast isn't looking good, either. They're calling for 30% chance of rain tonight (two little cells in Illinois right now), then no more than 20% chance anywhere else in the 10 day forecast. They're not even giving us the classic 60% chance on day nine.
