WET FIELDS SLOW CORN AND BEAN PLANTING

Wet fields slow corn and bean planting

By Dar Danielson (Radio Iowa)

Planting progress was slowed again last week by wet conditions.

The U.S.D.A. crop report says there just two days suitable for field work due to the rain. The amount of corn planted went from 47 to 57%, which is now one week behind last year after being just two days back the week before.

Soybean planting moved from 30 to 39% complete. Been planting had been two days behind last year and is now one week behind last year’s pace.
