Crop Report
Timely rains during the growing season mean this year’s crops have great potential, but Leah Ten Napel, Field Agronomist for Iowa State Extension and Outreach in Northwest Iowa says too much rain can cause a negative impact on crops.
She says growers need to be out in their fields scouting, looking for Tar Spots and Southern Rust.
Ten Napel says growers in Northwest Iowa are optimistic about yields, and depending on weather conditions, we may see an early harvest.
