Corn planting in Iowa advanced another 39 percent last week bringing the statewide average to 78 percent complete.
It’s the first time since 2010 that at least three-quarters of Iowa’s corn crop has been in the ground by May 3rd.
Soybean planting also saw a big jump to 46 percent complete. That’s the highest proportion of the soybean crop planted by May 3rd since records began in 1974.
