Pro Farmer Crop Tour Projects Record Corn Yield for Iowa Amid Mixed Regional Forecasts
(Undated) The Pro Farmer Crop Tour has projected a record corn yield of nearly 193 bushels per acre for Iowa, surpassing last year’s and the tour’s three-year average. While Iowa’s prospects are strong, Minnesota’s corn yield is forecasted at almost 165 bushels per acre, the lowest since 2012, due to excessive June rains impacting fertilizer. The tour covers key Corn Belt states and noted generally favorable conditions for most crops, although an early frost remains a potential risk. In contrast, Minnesota’s soybeans showed resilience, with pod counts above last year’s average.

In Chicago, Rural Democrats Feel the Joy. Will It Last?
Surrounded by the aloof gray walls of the convention center room, flanked by bodyguards and large screens projecting a screen saver that looked like vermicelli noodles swimming in dark water, and in front of an audience of conference goers wearing boots and blue jeans and bold-colored pantsuits, carrying “Cat ladies for Kamala” tote bags—and in the case of one delegate, a rose-colored suit jacket with the number 47 embroidered in string lights on the back, the 7 shaped like the state of Florida—Walz signaled that rural America had a voice at the top of the party ticket, a point she underscored by poking fun at her husband.

The Packers drubbed the Ravens in their preseason finale, 30-7, and though the game counts for nothing, it sure beats losing.

But if there was one area that was being most closely watched heading into the game, it was the battle for backup quarterback. And, unfortunately, neither incumbent QB2 Sean Clifford nor 2024 draftee Michael Pratt distinguished himself in that battle.
