Although the corn stalks didn't add any height in weeks 10, 11, or 12, the growth of the ears was impressive over that period. In the first week, temperatures averaged about one degree F warmer than normal, while the second and third weeks were much cooler than the historical average. July 13 through 19 averaged six degrees F per day cooler than normal, while the week of the 20th through the 26th averaged over two degrees F cooler. We didn't get much rain over the period, and even the humidity was on the low side, so the corn had to be pulling moisture out of the ground for its purposes. Even though the weather was not Central Illinois' traditional hot and humid variety for this time of year, the corn didn't appear to be suffering greatly.
WOW
