Corn Strides Toward Maturity Amid Favorable Weather

North counties reported 50 to 65 percent safe to dent. central 30 to 50 percent. south not more than 10 percent. An extra week of warmth could finish central and north sections. southern counties need a full month. Forecasts called for more showers and cooler air.
