A Massac County farmer didn’t recall any rain on his fields since July 4, apart from one one-inch rain, and the crop yields were lower than normal. The non-irrigated early beans were about 10 to 15 bushels below normal. The earliest corn yield was in the low to mid-20s. The farmer preferred the moisture to be about 18% to 19% before he really started shelling corn, and it’s drying quickly. Early planted crops were faring better than late planted ones from what he has heard from his neighbors.
