SYNOPSIS

Significant progress in planting both corn and soybeans has happened over the last 10 days. Some growers are nearing completion already! Planting conditions for corn have been relatively good, soybeans that went in early are struggling to emerge. The soil is tight and we need a rain shower to bring them the rest of the way
