If you haven't finished planting yet you are not alone. There are sizeable fields in Lenawee county that have not been planted yet for the first time. There are also portions of established fields that have to be re-planted. Heavier soils were still a little too wet to work this morning.
Corn looks good to excellent today.
Plants are growing quickly and the green color that we hope for has returned. Soil moisture should begin to go down over this weekend however, we have plenty of moisture to lose at the moment. Fields we have been monitoring are still above field capacity. Soybeans also look good to excellent. Many farmers are worried because they planted 200,000 seeds or more and only have stands of 90,000 to 120,000.
