A group led by the weather forecasting firm MDA EarthSat Weather will begin July 23 in the eastern Corn Belt and zig-zag its way to the Nebraska-Iowa border, stopping about every 15-20 miles to pull corn ears and soybean plants to get an idea of how yields might eventually shake out.
Daily coverage from the tour will include an estimation of potential reductions in corn and soybean yields, as well as an assessment of soil conditions and plantdisease and pest problems. Agriculture.com editors wi
