Cook went on to say: “The quality will be seriously affect- ed. The only thing we have going for us is the fact a lot of the acreage was planted late and the straw still has some life and will repel some of the mois- ture. A couple of years ago we had similar conditions and even the standing beans that were later harvested were of high moisture content and discolored." In the weekly crop report from the Agricultural Office in Clin- ton, Associate Ag. Rep, Don Pul- len advises that even silo filling operations have been curtailed because of the water-logged soil conditions. Moisture in grain corn is not coming down as fast as normal and only average yields have been reported in most areas.
