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

Question

Thanks to the 3,004 members across 8.1 million acres who responded to this morning’s corn planting progress poll!

Here are the results!

We noticed that members in Western Missouri and Western Arkansas have been experiencing heavy rainfall which has delayed planting progress and has even caused the need for some replanting.

Stay tuned throughout #plant20 for planting progress poll updates!

Answer

There must not be many members in my area ! Indiana 86%??? 5.8 inches of rain in 4 days🤷‍♂️

Answer

We are quitting corn planting tomorrow, tired of getting stuck. Spent the last 24 hours digging the planter out and repairing the damage. No incentive to keep trying.

Answer

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.
