Am not making actual guesses. Crops in this area have looked good most of summer. Corn generally planted a couple weeks later than "normal" due to cool/wet, then excess rain late April, caused some spotty stands and flooding/replants, dry and hot for a couple weeks in June caused some stand problems on soybeans, then excess moisture July-August with more flooding and cool temps, plus an incredible infestation of Japanese beetles in a broad area. A couple of high-wind events in late June and early July caused some corn to gooseneck from different directions, so harvest could be interesting. Earliest corn is getting close, moisture in mid-upper 20's. Lots of rust in corn fields, and inconsistent stands, but yields will be good (above 10-year average, but below records, below trends). Corn is a tough call due mostly to the inconsistent stands. Soybeans also planted little later than "normal", yet plenty of moisture to get good growth. Thinner stands are evident from the weed infestations that are now clearly visible above canopies. Beans also tough to call on yield, inconsistent stands, weeds, relatively cool temps, and excess rain events. Still anticipate a good yield (above 10-year average, but below records, below trends).
