Corn Crop Soaking Up Heat And Moisture

A field agronomist with the Manitoba Corn Growers Association is surprised to see how far the crop has come along.
 
Morgan Cott says she's pleased with how Manitoba's corn crop is looking.
 
She notes the moisture situation has been ideal.
 
“The moisture's perfect, it's really good. Especially for the heat that we're going to be getting now, it's great because we have good reserves. I think there's a little bit of puddling depending on where you are but that's going to go away quite fast I'm expecting.”
