The late-July rainfall has mitigated some of the drought impacts across Minnesota, improving crop yield potential. However, localized dry conditions persist in areas like Roseau County, where corn yields are projected to drop to 145 bpa and soybeans to 37.9 bpa. Farmers are also monitoring risks such as white mold in soybeans and southern rust in corn, which appeared earlier than usual in some counties. While fungicide applications have been widespread, the continuation of timely rains in August will be critical to maximizing soybean yields. Areas that missed the late-July rains may face reduced yields and increased stress on crops.
