The week of April 20 was a productive week for those that chose to plant in my area. Some farmers were very aggressive getting corn planted while others chose to wait. There were some soybeans planted as well. Pre-emerge spraying and burn down for soybeans was done as the temperatures warmed up during the week. We received 0.5 of an inch of rain on Thursday evening, April 23. Many farmers are waiting now for the rain on Monday the 27th and the cool temperatures forecast for the coming week before resuming planting.
