Rippey: “The worst-rated corn in the nation again this week in Missouri”

August 01, 2023 10:51 AM

The latest Crop Progress Report is in, and corn conditions are on the decline, down 2 points this week to just 55% good to excellent nationally.

USDA meteorologist Brad Rippey shares where farmers are having the hardest time.

“Now we see the worst-rated corn in the nation again this week in Missouri; 44% of the crop rated very poor to poor. We see at least 1-6th of the crop rated very poor to poor in four other states: Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, and Minnesota. You see the common theme is those states are generally from the Mississippi Valley westward where we have seen the driest and hottest conditions so far this growing season,” he explains.

The New Crop
RFD-TV has partnered with a handful of agricultural social media influencers whom we have dubbed The New Crop. These folks have taken to the internet to tell their stories and to raise awareness of where our food comes from and all that goes into feeding the world population.
Where the Food Comes From
The goal of “Where the Food Comes From” is as simple as its name implies — host Chip Carter takes you along on the journey of where our food comes from — and we don’t just mean to the supermarket (though that’s part of the big picture!). But beyond where it comes from, how it gets there, and all the links in the chain that make that happen.
