Grain and oilseed crops across much of southwestern Ontario may be a bit better than many are expecting.
Don Kabbes of Great Lakes Grain says a recent evaluation tour that looked at thousands of acres show that while there is a lot of variability, the good patches may out number the bad.
"The very good areas are that, they are very good, so overall that gave us a pretty big number on both corn and soybeans," he says. "We are worried the dry August is going to take some soybean yield from us."
Kabbes says farmers are going to be surprised at some of the number that will be recorded by yield monitors in combines this year.

While Kabbes says the soybean fields will produce a good crop, he thinks a couple of well-timed rains would have helped.

Kabbes says the difference between the poor spots and good spots in some fields is extreme.
