Cutting of silage corn is also completed with slightly below average yields of 12 to 13 tons per acre/the grain corn has matured well despite the later spring planting dates. The crop has dried down in the field to between 26 and 30 percent moisture. Average yields are quite variable but better than expected. We project project the average yield to be 75 . bushels per acre, down from the exceptional yield of 92 bushels per acre in 1982. , Many farmers are completing completing tillage work. An increased increased acreage of winter wheat has been seeded. We have some concern for excess growth of wheat due to the warmer than average September and October.
