Crop report: Corn looking even better

Share:
Here's a link to this week's crop progress report.

The highlights:

76 percent of Nebraska's crop is in good to excellent condition, up a point from last week; 18 percent is in fair condition and 6 percent is poor to very poor.

Nationally, 66 percent of the crop is in good to excellent condition, up a point from last week; 24 percent is fair and 10 is poor to very poor. Last year, 58 percent was good to excellent, 26 was fair and 16 percent poor to very poor. So...the crop that's in the ground is in good shape.

The overall crop is still behind, though, as the percent of crop silking and in dough stage lags the five-year average.
