Interstate corn sown last week but rains limit pace again

MOST of the US CropWatch producers returned to planting corn and soybeans last week after a widespread standstill in the prior week, though that activity was largely confined to the weekend due to wet midweek weather.

Four of the 11 producers reported zero-to-one day of field work last week, and at least four others ran between two and three days. Some were able to make the most of the couple available days, as both Iowa producers reported activity that was fast and even “frantic” over the weekend.
