Corn planting progressed quickly last week and through the weekend. Soil condition were very good with adequate moisture down a few inches. Early planted corn should begin emerging by the end of this week.
Very few soybeans have been planted as operators have been focused on corn planting. Most soybeans will be planted in the next two weeks if the weather will cooperate
Rain started Sunday night and put a stop to field work. This week’s forecast calls for rain almost every day.
Bird Flu is the hot topic in Northwest Iowa lately. The latest number of infected birds has topped 20 million. All
infected birds are quarantined and destroyed. Poultry buildings must also sit empty for a period of time afterwards to prevent further spread of the infection. This will have a negative effect on local corn basis as feed demand will be lowered with less birds to feed.
