Luke Pearson AFM

Not much activity during the last week. Below normal temps last week gave way to very nice weather during the
weekend. Thunderstorms on Sunday night delivered .25-.75 inches of rain. Rain is forecasted for the weekend,
but next week looks dryer.

The planting progress report out Monday afternoon showed 2% of US corn is planted, compared to the 5 year average of 5%. The only activity right now is drainage tile being installed.
