With more than 20 million US corn and soybean acres in poor or very poor condition, a Farm Bureau economist says this year’s crop conditions are the worst since the drought of 2012.
“From the road you might see a field that looks pretty good, but once you get inside of it you can see the unevenness and I think that is what is being reflected in these conditions reports.”
John Newton tells Brownfield conditions are much better than they were in 2012, but he hasn’t seen this level of market uncertainty in several years.
