Update From The Field

I have worked from St. Charles to West Alton the past few days.  Corn planting progress is spectacular.  One customer said he would be done Wednesday if nothing breaks.  I would estimate over all at least 50% is planted,  Most people started last Friday, so that is a 10% per day pace.  Soils are in good shape.  Lots of people are planting in the stale seedbed type of situation.  Cool weather seems to be supressing weeds, but they are starting to sprout.
