Moisture levels increased in both topsoil and subsoil across the state with the decent rains we’ve received over the last week. Most notable was in the southern counties of the state where moisture levels increased the most but are still drier than the rest of the state with dry conditions still seen there. This along with the modest temperatures over the past week led to a better look at the crops with Corn, Soybeans and Oats doing mainly good to excellent this week. Not mentioned in the image, hay along with pasture and range land are doing good as of now.
