Little or no corn planted in Ohio

Other than some nitrogen being applied and oats being planted not much fieldwork was being done in Ohio last week.

The Ohio field office of the National Ag Statistics Service (NASS) says while there are a few reports of corn being planted, the weekly crop and weather report for the week ending Sunday, April 20, indicated no corn planted, that compares to the 5-year average of 10 percent.

Oats planting is 19 percent complete, well behind the 47 percent 5-year average.

13 percent of the Ohio wheat crop is jointing and 83 percent of the crop is in fair-to-good condition.

Topsoil moisture in the state remains at 100 percent adequate to surplus.
