I went south today. South of Columbia, IL was kind of dry although wet areas are still wet. Lots of planting. Some of the ares have not looked so good since 2007. There is not really as much planted as i would have expected, but I guess that is a reflection of how behind on field work everyone is. I samples some that was planted and some that had nothing done. Below is my soil thermometer. Soil temperature should be taken at 10AM at a depth of 4 inches.
