Illinois crop prospects at lowest in 23 years report
The June survey shows extremely poor Illinois crop prospects with spring grain and tame hay failing due to drought and low rainfall. Winter wheat stands at 68 percent of normal, corn stands uneven, soybeans expanding amid seed shortages, and pastures feeding at one half to one third of normal. Apple and peach yields are at record lows, chinch bugs widespread, and overall feed shortages loom as frost, heat, and drought bite.
