NEBRASKA CROP PROGRESS AND CONDITION
For the week ending September 29, 2013, warm, windy conditions again were experienced during the week. Rainfall of an inch or more across much of the Panhandle as well as central counties slowed winter wheat seeding but improved overall prospects, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Soybean harvest was active in southern counties and high moisture corn was being taken for delivery to feedlots and ethanol producers. Widespread corn harvest was limited due to high grain moisture levels. Statewide, producers had 5.5 days suitable for fieldwork. Topsoil moisture supplies rated 16 percent very short, 36 short, 48 adequate, and 0 surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies rated 28 percent very short, 42 short, 30 adequate, and 0 surplus.
Field Crops Report:
All corn condition rated 8 percent very poor, 7 poor, 21 fair, 44 good, and 20 excellent. Irrigated corn conditions rated 82 percent good or excellent, compared to 75 average. Dryland corn conditions rated 39 percent good or excellent, compared to 57 average. Corn mature was 64 percent, behind 92 last year but near 66 average. Corn harvested was 9 percent, well behind 51 last year and 16 average.
Soybean conditions rated 4 percent very poor, 8 poor, 26 fair, 48 good, and 14 excellent. Soybeans dropping leaves were 84 percent, near 88 last year but ahead of 78 average. Harvest was 13 percent complete, behind 44 last year and 19 average.
Sorghum conditions rated 17 percent very poor, 19 poor, 24 fair, 38 good, and 2 excellent. Sorghum mature was 51 percent, ahead of 48 last year and 40 average. Harvest was 2 complete, behind 10 last year and 4 average.
Winter wheat was 65 percent seeded, ahead of 62 last year but behind 72 average. Wheat emerged was 28 percent, ahead of 14 last year but behind 33 average.
The fourth cutting of alfalfa was 76 percent complete, behind 86 last year but near 78 average.
Livestock, Pasture and Range Report:
Stock water supplies rated 8 percent very short, 20 short, 72 adequate, and 0 surplus. Pasture and range condition was 19 percent very poor, 23 poor, 34 fair, 23 good, and 1 excellent.

IOWA CROP PROGRESS AND CONDITION REPORT
Mostly dry weather allowed the harvesting of corn and soybeans to both reach 5 percent complete during the week ending September 29, 2013, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 5.9 days suitable for fieldwork. Other activities for the week included chopping corn silage, harvesting seed corn, and seeding cover crops.
Topsoil moisture levels rated 35 percent very short, 40 percent short, 25 percent adequate and 0 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 41 percent very short, 39 percent short, 20 percent adequate and 0 percent surplus. Southeast Iowa remained the driest with over 50 percent of the topsoil moisture rated in the very short category.
Ninety-five percent of the corn crop had reached the dented stage or beyond, 3 percentage points behind normal. Sixty-one percent of corn was mature, behind the normal 76 percent. Only five percent of the corn had been harvested for grain or seed, two weeks behind normal. Moisture content of all corn in the field was estimated at 28 percent while moisture content of corn harvested was estimated at 23 percent. Corn lodging was rated at 71 percent none, 22 percent light, 6 percent moderate and 1 percent heavy. Corn condition was 8 percent very poor, 18 percent poor, 38 percent fair, 32 percent good and 4 percent excellent.
Eighty-eight percent of soybeans had turned color, 8 percentage points behind normal. Fifty-one percent of the crop had dropped leaves, 9 days behind normal pace. Five percent of soybeans had been harvested, 16 percentage points behind normal. Soybean lodging was rated at 86 percent none, 12 percent light, 2 percent moderate and 0 percent heavy. Soybean shattering was rated at 86 percent none, 12 percent light, 2 percent moderate and 0 percent heavy. Soybean condition improved slightly to 9 percent very poor, 18 percent poor, 38 percent fair, 31 percent good and 4 percent excellent.
With recent rains, pasture condition has improved and was rated 28 percent very poor, 30 percent poor, 29 percent fair, 12 percent good and 1 percent excellent. Stress on livestock was minimal this week, and some calves were weaned early to take advantage of good prices.
