Hot Weather and Rain Boost Marshall Putnam Corn Prospects
Local forecasters in Marshall and Putnam counties report corn as a good prospect despite some variability. The past two weeks of extreme heat and recent rains have ripened fields, with many plots ready to lay by by July Fourth. Oats are shorter with variable yields, hay is down, and other grains remain near normal. Pastures show little impact on milk production, and recent heavy rains should revive bluegrass pastures for livestock.
