Our Agronomists are pegging the planting progress of corn to be 95-99% completed, and the planting progress of beans to be at 85-90% done.
We are seeing some emergence issues on soybean fields due to rainfall timing or crusting, but it is not widespread.
At this point, forecasts are looking bone dry and a rain would be very welcomed. There is soil moisture in the ground, especially on the clay, but we will need to replenish the moisture in the soil soon.
We are seeing some activity with spraying on IP ground, but spraying otherwise has slowed as corn residual sprays will have issues without any rain in 7 days. Thankfully, despite the hot conditions, weeds have been slow to come up in the majority of fields.
Please feel free to reach out to either of our branches or to your agronomist if you have any questions, or if there is anything we can do for you as you wrap up planting and look ahead to this upcoming growing season! Our agronomists have been busy checking out wheat staging for spraying and visiting corn and soybean fields to help some of our customer/owners decide what chemicals to apply! They are often out on the road, so it is best to reach them on their cell phones!
