The wet weather early combined with cooler temperatures set us up for what should be an excellent corn crop. The drier weather recently likely hurt soybean yields. July 2015 was the wettest July on record for Kentucky with almost
9 inches of rain: link.
July temperatures were essentially average.
The last week of August and first week of September had warmer weather (14 days with average temperatures of 78
to 80 F) and inadequate rainfall to keep up with the temperatures and crop
demand
