Temperatures ranged from highs in the 90’s to lows around 40.Despite these poor conditions, the corn crop progressed nicely. For the week ending June 8, corn was 95 percent emerged, above last weeks 82%, but slightly below the average of 98%. Corn crop conditions, meanwhile, were 8 percent poor to very poor, 27 percent fair and 65 percent good to excellent. A year ago, 75 percent of Nebraska's crop was good to excellent at this time.
