What does this mean?
While the northeast received rain, reducing the current drought condition, drought has increased in the west, leading to more wildfires. The high plains and parts of the corn belt also continued to experience drought.
Corn development continues to be highly variable within some fields. 25% of corn is harvested, 11 points ahead of last year and one point ahead of the five-year average. 87% of corn is mature, 33 points ahead of last year and nine points ahead of the five-year average. 62% of corn is in the good to excellent condition, one point ahead of last week and six points ahead of last year.
