(Radio Iowa) – There was planting progress last week despite widespread rain.The U-S-D-A report says there were just two-point-three days suitable for fieldwork due to wet conditions. The corn planted was up 16 percent to 34 percent, and that is two days ahead of the five-year average. Soybean planting moved from eleven to 25 percent complete, which is four days ahead of last year.

The report says cooler temperatures have slowed the emergence of the seeds already in the ground.
