Springfield, IL-(Effingham Radio)- With the fall harvest underway in Illinois, projections for corn and soybean yields are optimistic. That wasn’t the case in June when much of the state was experiencing drought.
During a recent Illinois Soy Advisor podcast, central Illinois Soy Envoy Karen Corrigan said it appears the state’s corn crop deteriorated as the summer went on.
Southern Illinois Soy Envoy Kelly Robertson said the difference in yields is very noticeable, even in fields that are located near each other.
The United States Department of Agriculture projects Illinois to have the highest production of soybeans in the nation, and the second highest for corn.
