Producers has plenty of time for fieldwork this past week. With little rainfall, farmers finished corn planting and are nearly done with soybeans says Crop Statistician Brad Summa.
96 percent of corn has emerged and 58 percent of the crop is rated in good to excellent condition. Average statewide topsoil moisture declined to 3 percent very short, 38 percent short, 56 percent adequate and 3 percent surplus.
