FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Wet weather continued to plague U.S. farmers last week, especially in the Eastern Corn Belt, as planting progress for corn and soybeans likely failed to advance as much as needed given the already slow pace. The Crop Watch growers in Indiana and Ohio did not report that much progress had been made.
Crop Watch 2019 follows one corn and one soybean field in eight major U.S. Corn Belt states, reporting on weekly progress as of Sunday. These are the same eight growers who participated in the 2018 version of Crop Watch. He also reports that although it is later than preferred, beans planted this week in southern Minnesota can still achieve good yields.Last week, the Nebraska grower estimated around 75% of the corn and 45% of the soybeans have been planted, and as of Sunday he predicted corn was around 85% complete and soybeans 50%.
The Crop Watch corn field was planted April 21 and the soybeans on May 16, and the grower says they are both in good shape for now.As of Sunday, the Illinois grower estimated at most 30% of local corn and soybean fields had been planted versus 15% a week before. It is normal to have all planting wrapped up in this area around May 25. He reports that progress should be good early this week as rains may hold off until Wednesday, but some fields were still unfit for planting.
