Is there anything going on in the field?

I have spent the last two days sampling in St. Charles County, MO.  We heard rumors of lots of corn planted.  While there is some corn planted, I would hesitate to call it lots.  Soils are still wet for the most part, although you can see below that it was dry enough for sand to be blowing.  You can also see the water still standing in the swale. The sandier areas will be dry enough to work on tomorrow, but with rain in the forecast, we are starting to worry that we will not get any more corn planted that could be refered to as early.  The two farmers I talked to were hesitant to plant on Monday because of the rain in the forecast.  Soil temperature was 60 degrees this morning at 10 AM so soil temperature should not be a factor.
