Heat in the forecast is good news for growers of long season crops in the southeast.
Don Falk farms northwest of New Bothwell. He says soybeans are looking good thanks in part to an early planting. But they have also had more than enough moisture and should do well with higher temperatures. Meantime Pioneer Hi-Bred Seed rep Marc Hutlet says sunflowers have put up with this year's extra moisture as well. He notes sunflowers are a tough plant. Sunflowers and soybeans should be starting to flower in the next few weeks and corn is already starting to tassle. And while it may not look like the fields need more water right now all 3 crops will need some additional moisture in August.
