That is 1 point ahead of last year’s crop and 4 points behind the five-year average. Corn in the dough stage reached 20 percent, which is 2 points ahead of last year but 11 points – about four days – behind average.
Although a bit behind, the crop remains in outstanding condition, with 79 percent rated good to excellent, 4 points ahead of last year. Only 7 percent of the crop is rated poor.
