  2012 drought

The Iowa crop reporting service released it's latest crop ratings for the state yesterday;
Corn only 28% in the good to excellent category, the lowest I ever remember.
Soybeans, 32% in the good to excellent.

One of the weather reporting stations is about a half mile from us they showed 104.3 a while ago with a 25 MPH SW wind.

No meaningfull rain here in the month of July, so not much of a crop left.

Cattlemen have been feeding hay for quite a while.

Frank.

Gregg;

I retired from farming in 07 so I've forgotten a lot about most everything, but the crop insurance I'm sure is different now than I would have remembered.
I do rfemember it coud be bought at different levels, but even the highest level wasn't as good as getting a crop.
We did get four tenths of rain but more than that it has cooled off. The four tenths won't save the crop but it did make everyone feel better.

Frank.

Finally some rain and cooler temps here yesterday.

The rain was a bit spotty, not a general rain, but most of eastern Iowa got some. We had an inch and six tenths in about a half hour, I don't think a drop ran off.
The corn that hadn't shut down will probably benfit some. The soybeans and pasture/hay ground will benefit the most.

Frank.
