There was very little change in the overall condition of this year’s corn and soybean crop during the past week, but both continue to lag crop conditions at this point a year ago, according to USDA’s Aug. 19 Crop Progress report.
USDA’s Aug. 11 Crop Progress report indicates that neither the 2019 corn and soybean crops are where they would be typically at this point of the year and are still feeling the weather effects that caused the late planting season this spring.
USDA reports that, as of July 28, 58% of corn acres are silking. This up for 35% in the week prior, but far beyond the 90% a year earlier and the 5 year average of 83% for this date.
USDA noted little change in the overall condition of U.S. corn and soybeans in its July 22 report, but neither crop has been able to close much of the gap when it comes to their maturity levels.
For all intent and purposes, all of the 2019 U.S. corn and soybean crops that will be planted are in the ground, but the overall progress of this year’s crops continues to trail where they would typically be at this point.
