I have been on the tour for 2 days and heard about day 1, my conclusion is the #soybeans could reach 53-54. The #corn will be fortunate to make 183-184. Corn diseases are so bad in some areas where yield will continue to decline. Hard to say how this corn will finish but it will be less than scouts calculated. I have not seen enough to move my number above 180. In one sentence - corn isn’t as good as people thought and soybeans are better than people expected! #oatt #pftour25

Second stop 2 miles North of Boone, IA. #Corn population of 30,250 and yield of 185. Lots of disease but you can see this corn is close to black layer (10-12 days). #Soybeans had 1506 pods in 3X3 area. #oatt #pftour25
