In important unreported news significant amounts of the Midwest east of the Mississippi River have had huge rainfall with a minimum two week delay. From illinois to Michigan East millions of acres are unplanted. Although there’s still time to finish if it stops raining without major yield reductions the ideal planting date for corn and beans will pass before planting resumes. Yet to be seen is the damage to the planted crop from the cold and flooding. Reduced uneven stands are a given for millions of acres. With the current cold wet weather and more predicted to follow it will be awhile before the crop
that is planted emerges or anymore is planted.
