• There were more fields that planted Corn on Corn.  The USDA is correct in increasing corn acres this growing year.
• Much of our area was impacted by some wind and or hail.  It will impact yield and make harvesting the corn more difficult this fall. 
• As shown on the precipitation map moisture was plentiful this growing year.  We did not see any dry fields. 
• Most of the fields were showing some disease – mainly rust. 
• Finally, I was anticipating an average around 225-235 given favorable moisture and growing conditions, but it wasn’t there.  There is a lot of tons out there for the guy that wants to chop silage, but yields may disappoint.
