With field operations and grain hauling complete, we have shifted our focus to the list of summer projects.  We made two aerial scouting tours over the month of July, and have been very pleased with crop conditions.  The corn crop looks great… stand, evenness and color.  The soybean crop has improved drastically towards the end of the month… color and evenness was of concern at the beginning to the month.  The abundance of rainfall led to soybean’s rough transition into summer.
