Behind on Planting Corn?

We are getting to the time of year when most of us would really like to have some corn planted.  I am not sure how the Illinois Ag Statistics Service data below would correlate with final yields, but you can see that we are ahead of 3 recent years.  I left out the extremes and averaged the rest and find that on average we should be about 11% planted.  Many producers are set up to plant 10% of their corn in a day, so we could still make up for lost time, but the weather forecast is not good for now. We have had a total of 2 inches of rain since yesterday morning.
