It was another good week for producers to continue to make progress in the fields.

USDA NAS Heartland Regional Director Brad Summa indicates roughly five days were suitable for field work for the week ending Sunday, May 18.

Corn planting is making good progress, nearly reaching the five-year average while soybean planting remains ahead of the five-year pace.

According to Summa, winter wheat remains in mostly good or excellent condition while pasture conditions are also in mostly good or excellent condition.

This week is off to a pretty wet start so far across the State.
