Corn Planting Progress - 5/19/20 (Poll Results)

I realize that the poll numbers accurately reflect the responses but obviously those who have less planted haven’t been responding including myself. In my case I probably represent many in my thought that I don’t even want to talk about being so far behind on bean planting again this year. They’re has only been 7 good planting days since April 15 in my area and there’s still some corn and a lot of beans to be planted in the 100 mile radius of Pontiac Illinois that I’ve seen in the last 6 days. Even the pre April 15 planted beans are a mixed bag this year with some doing fine but others killed by the Mother’s Day weekend freeze and still others that didn’t make it through the crust from the flooding 3 weeks ago. Personally I have hope that the second round of floods last weekend are the last for this growing season! Those of us lucky enough to have our corn planted at least have a fighting chance of a somewhat normal corn harvest and that’s about the best thing you can say about the 2020 season so far.
