Corn conditions improved in Independence area despite wet fields
In Buchanan county corn conditions improved last week with about two thirds knee high while wet spots saw critical growth due to lack of cultivation. Haying lagged with alfalfa cut but still in the field, and oats were heavy and lodging in places. Rain dominated Manchester Delaware county with temps near 90 between showers, aiding corn growth but ruining some hay curing. Farmers plowed weedy fields for catch crops and worked overtime to manage moisture.
