DELMARVA — Wet growing conditions continue to challenge farmers nationwide with weed and disease pressure topping the management list. An Iowa producer told Brownfield yesterday that corn spraying is mostly wrapped up for the season with only potential fungicide applications remaining, but soybeans are keeping crews busy with ongoing herbicide work. The challenging moisture conditions are intensifying the battle against weeds and plant diseases during the growing season.
Markets
Soybeans rebounded yesterday, snapping an 8-day losing streak. Soybean oil and nearby meal contracts also posted gains. USDA flash sales data showed some positive activity, and traders are focused on today’s report from the department.
Locally, corn at Laurel Grain Company in Laurel, Delaware is bringing $4.60 a bushel for December delivery. Soybeans are $10.88 for November. Up in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, Triple M Farms is paying $5.08 for July corn and $11.10 for July beans.
Forecast
Patchy fog is clearing this morning with partly sunny skies developing. Temperatures will hit 88°F today with light west winds around 5 mph. A Heat Advisory is in effect through tomorrow evening. Tonight brings a chance of showers and thunderstorms with a low around 73°F. Tomorrow looks sunny with a high near 89°F, but another round of scattered storms is possible tomorrow night.
