Pro Farmer's day-three route reports from Iowa found an average corn yield of 207 bu/acre and soybean pod counts 15% above last year. Southern rust was present, along with light tar spot and northern leaf blight.
Sudden death syndrome was found in 25% of sampled soybean fields.
Strong field samples point to a large corn crop and add to the bearish supply outlook. Sudden death in soybeans is a yield risk that could limit upside in soy.
