It was another cool, dry week in Illinois as we hear in the weekly crop report.

Crop Statistician Mark Schluessner says nearly the entire week was suitable for fieldwork and topsoil moisture declined.

Soybean acres are 94 percent blooming while the crop is well ahead of pace in setting pods.

Schluessner says 18 percent of the corn crop is in the dent stage while the crop is rated in 77 percent good to excellent condition.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay is 54 complete while pasture conditions were rated in 66 percent good to excellent condition.
