Hardin County
Corn Summary: There were early saturated soils here. The plants were fairly healthy though there was some disease present with gray leaf spot above the ear and a little northern corn leaf blight and common rust. There was some ear damage from birds and there was a little corn borer damage in the conventional corn. There was definitely some moderate to severe nitrogen deficiency. There was some tip back. Yield looks to be around 168 bushels.

There were some two-bean pods and around 30-pods per plant. Good yield potential. There were cracks in the ground 1.5 inches wide showing it was dry after a wet start.
