A south-central Indiana farmer says crops have held up relatively well despite the dry start to the growing season.  Matthew Lucas tells Brownfield his farm didn’t receive any precipitation for most of June.  “There has been some damage done, at least on ear size from what we’re seeing,” he says.  “But we will just have to wait and see what the rest of the year offers to see how things do.”

As for soybeans?  “The soybeans at least in the immediate local area seemed to be robust and not showing a lot of stress,” he says.
