Or here in Canada, knee high by the 1st of July. That is the old saying about whether the corn crop will be a good one. Well.. a lot of the corn is that high, it has really grown in the last 10 days, but there are certainly lots of spots where it is shorter than that, all within the same field! Every little “wet spot” seems to have been cool/damp enough that the corn is a little(or a lot) shorter there. Pretty uneven. If we get a decent summer, it should turn out ok. Time will tell.
The wheat and barley are progressing nicely, although they are fairly short, and the later planted stuff is very short. Not as much straw as usual.
The soybeans are looking ok. Again, they are a little off colour in the wetter areas, and they are not as tall as usual for this time of year, but they are coming along fine.
Hard to believe getting the combine ready to go for wheat is getting pretty high on the list of things to do. Another few weeks and it will be ready. We just finished planting! (or so it seems)
