Wet week around Iowa

Corn planting has yet to really get underway in Iowa.

Temperatures around the state last week were generally below normal and the statewide average precipitation was almost double the normal weekly total. In fact, last week was the wettest week around Iowa since late June 2013.

65% of topsoil and 44% of subsoil have adequate moisture levels. 18% of pasture and rangelands are in good condition, with another 48% called fair.
