Status of crops

Corn is progressing rather slowly but is starting to develop. With the recent rain in July it has not been under too much stress this year with the exception of too much rain in early May. Our early planted crop has tasseled and is setting seed now, with the later planted corn tasseling and pollinating right now. Soybeans are in the stage of blooming and closing canopy to being in the V3 stage of the late planted ones. What do your crop prospects look like? Any disease or insect pressure right now?
