Independent Crop Agronomist, Steve Redmond of Redmond Agronomic Services reports on his 1,900 mile crop scouting tour through Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. This video was taken during June 24, 25 and 26, 2013. There are significantly large acreages of water delayed and damaged corn crops in Northern Iowa and Minnesota.
Steve Redmond and Moe Agostino are planning a similar crop scouting tour in late August to gain an understanding on how the 2013 crops might yield.
