CRITICAL rainfall came at the end of last week for many crop watch fields in the heart of the Corn Belt, notably upping crop conditions, though a couple of locations remain light on moisture.

Normal-to-cool weather is expected through mid-July for much of the Corn Belt, mostly favorable for pollination.
