Corn condition and wheat harvest in southern Ontario.

Wheat harvest started on the weekend .
Some of the corn appears to be a near loss. Images were from the south side of Huron County .

A lot of wheat came off over the weekend. I have seen some nice fields of corn from Exeter to Goderich. I would say for every bad field of corn there are four good ones. The heat last week made them grow , however the yield remains to be seen .

My wheat is running 80 to 85 bushels, not quite finished. Some wheat is running
over 100. Corn is starting to tassel but many fields are uneven, which will delay
harvest. Looks like an average crop in this area...150 bushels per acre. We need a
long warm open fall or a lot of this corn will be harvested in the 30 percent
moisture. An early frost in September will devastate most corn around here.

Lots of wheat now harvested at the south end of
Lake Simcoe over the long weekend. Corn crop is
all over the map. From the shortest corn, that is
mine planted after first cutting hay came off and just
waste high at best. All the way to corn that is fully
and evenly tasseled, to the south of me in the
Uxbridge- Port Perry area, were land is light and
sandy loam, corn went in on time and benefited
from frequent rain. My clay soils have be tough to
deal with this year. Like Ben says, early frost in
September will ruin any chance of making a buck off
most corn near me, my corn is silage so my risk
isn?t as great. Still lots of corn will only make grade
3-4
