DES MOINES Aug 22 corn progress slowed by cool cloudy weather yet crop prospects remain strong for a record yield. Soil moisture is short in northwest Iowa with damage expected on late fields and light soils if rain does not arrive soon.
Federal Crop Statistician Leslie Carl says Iowa corn production on Aug 15 remains 673,318,000 bushels, unchanged from Aug 1. Despite a 55,000,900 bushel drop nationally, Iowa prospects improve in the northwest, while soil moisture remains scarce in Ply mouth Woodbury and Ida counties. The Aug 15 report should mirror Aug 1 with no special crop diagnosis planned.
