Beck’s agronomist discusses crop conditions in the Eastern Corn Belt

Beck’s Regional Agronomy Manager Steve Gauck says corn conditions vary across the Eastern Corn Belt.

“There’s some fantastic corn out there and then obviously we have some areas that have suffered a pretty severe drought,” he says. “And then we have areas where farmers think they’re okay and then find tip back or, maybe they have less kernels. The crop is average, maybe better than average is most areas.  It’s not going to be the record crop we had last year, but there is still a lot of potential to it with some of these rains from a corn standpoint.”

He tells Brownfield there’s some room for improvement in soybeans.
