Is anyone watching long term maps

[Mizzou_Tiger]

Just saying

They have been trying to trend hotter and dryer for awhile but have failed to really confirm

Well I think we are on the verge of confirming

Close to 100 today and more coming

The system out east moves thru and the spicket might be slammed shut for awhile

3 weeks of heat and little rain is going to hammer the corn pretty good. Disaster, no. Major hit, yes

12.2 and 3.2

MT,  Just wondering if anyone remembers what the maps looked like back in April & May?  Were they anywhere close to what actually happened?   I have no clue......but maybe someone knows.  The roots are shallow...no doubt.  We need some heat & sunshine here in Ohio........but definately couldn't take a long period of it either.

Keeping in mind we are only 3 weeks into summer

things is gonna get warm Next week ( after this week with more rain ).

the h2o Pattern seems pretty well entrenched in the areas that are 2 wet now.

Hot and muggy?   could be...since I already know how corn does in a Jungle Enviro climate...that means some are looking at their Best looking corn NOW.

don't know, happen to get some wind on the shallow rooted stuff...could be a mess ( more be best 2 collect the Crop Ins ).

hopefully there's not an early freeze this year.  MO

What is your yield prediction John? 300 bu per acre at $4 or is that too risky? 250 bu?

Well MT you and I have kind of been in this camp all spring and summer.  I have feared a hot and dry August east of the Mississippi.  Granted we are half way thru July but it is still a concern.  The latest 6 to 10 and 8 to 14 still show a shift to hotter and drier conditions.  Not good for crops that were water logged all spring.
