The past week brought abnormal cold and cloudiness with heavy rainfall across the state. Plowing, seeding, and corn cutting were interrupted and fodder quality deteriorated. 40 to 50 percent of the excess corn crop may be below marketable standards, though still good feeding value if weather improves and harvesting proceeds. A period of normal dry weather is imperative to protect the entire crop.
