Decision Time

We missed two chances at rain the past two days; that is the good news.  The bad news is that there is a lot of corn to be planted yet and we are past the date to assure full coverage by crop insurance.  Producers will need to decide whether to stick with corn, switch to soybeans, or take prevented planting.  I have talked to customers who have made their decisions.   We sampled mostly corn fields that are out of the ground today.  We did  one soybean field.  This is the time of year when we are trying to sample corn as fast as we can.  Soybean fields and unplanted field are often passed by.
