Warm weather needed now that corn planting is completed

June 25, 2019 By Dar Danielson

The latest crop report shows the corn is planted across the state and beans are not far behind.

Just two percent of the corn planting remained going into last week and with the planting done, farmers are now looking for some good warm growing days. Ninety-six percent of the crop has emerged. That’s two weeks behind where we were last year at this time and 15 days behind the five-year average.

The report shows still about five percent of the soybeans still remain to be planted. Eighty-one percent of the beans that have been planted have emerged. That’s also two weeks behind last year.

The corn condition improved slightly this week — with 62 percent rated good to excellent. Sixty-three percent of the beans rate in good to excellent condition — up from 61 percent last week.
