On Monday, August 17th, the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) issued a new Crop Progress and Condition Report.

Nationally, crops are mostly in decent condition, however the report did indicate some deterioration in states affected by the derecho that ripped through the corn belt last week.
