Iowa’s corn crop is doing well with 82 percent in good or excellent condition. In southeast Iowa, 82 percent of corn is in the dough stage, slightly ahead of the five-year average of 78 percent. At this time, 38 percent of corn is dented in southeast Iowa, ahead of the state, but behind the five-year average of 44 percent.

Mostly dry conditions last week in the area allowed farmers more than five days of suitable fieldwork according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service.
