Weather Helps Iowa Farmers After Dry Week
The Iowa Weekly Weather and Crop Report notes warm dry conditions boosted field work across the state, with northwest Iowa hit by heavy rains flooding hundreds of acres. Correctionville Kingsley and Humboldt reported over seven inches, most rain in Humboldt arriving within 90 minutes. Corn planting nearly finished including replanting from late May freeze, soybeans about 90 percent planted, oats generally good with some uneven fields and yellowing, alfalfa first cutting about one fifth done, soil moisture adequate though topsoil moisture scarce in the northeast.
