ISU extension climatologist Elwynn Taylor says above normal rainfall in August should help Iowa corn and soybeans. Some subsoil moisture remains low, so frequent rain is needed. Diseases may rise like corn rust and brown spot, but stem and stalk rot should be less severe. Crops are ahead of normal, with cooler temps possibly delaying grain dry down.
