Moisture stress continues to be a significant factor in the 2022 crop. Early and mid-season drought conditions as well as the impact of isolated heavy rain fall events remain a significant contributing factor to crop development and potential yields.
Both early and mid-season drought stress contributed to corn yield potential.
Isolated heavy rain events impacting low areas and poorly drained soil types.
Emergence issues include lower plant populations which has impacted yield potential and weed control, specifically with Waterhemp, marestail and giant ragweed.
Although somewhat geographically limited, delayed emergence due to soil crusting and other emergence issues has impacted both corn and soybeans.
Compaction issues also have impacted plant to plant consistency.

Moisture and temperature regimes have not aligned up to this point to create sustained conditions for disease development.
Soybean disease pressure continues to be low, isolated areas of frogeye leaf spot are being reported and SDS remains at low levels despite challenging planting conditions in some locations.
Tar spot levels have remained significantly lower then expected, while GLS can be found, often but located below ear leaf in most locations and at lower infection rates.

A dry winter led to dry planting conditions.
Many early planted fields were sunk deep to reach moisture.
Deep furrows made for catching points of blowing residue.
Sub-freezing temperatures coupled with heavy residue from a dry winter created the first replant situations of the growing season.
Below average snowfall and moisture lead to very little residue decomposition.
Japanese Beetles came early and heavy to the area creating the need for multiple insecticide applications in heaviest infested areas.
With the current droughty conditions, spider mites are flaring also causing consideration of an additional app.
