The Corn Marketing Program of Michigan’s annual yield tour is finding mixed yield expectations.
Research manager Kristin Poley tells Brownfield some pockets of the state have great yields while others have struggled with prolonged dryness.
“It seems like the southern part of the state, south of I-94, have had a good bit of moisture—toward the west end of the state in particular,” she explains. “Up towards central Michigan, we were very dry for a very long time.”
Poley says the Thumb and northcentral Michigan have been abnormally dry.
