We are wet now due to recent storms, but conditions had been pretty dry and are just now getting back closer to normal soil moisture levels and water tables.

Early to mid-April saw a lot of fieldwork, and the earliest corn is already ankle-high. Overall, still less than 25% of the crop is in the ground, but that is still a lot more progress than we saw a year ago. Now the forecast looks like we are going to be wet for the next couple of weeks, but at least most of the early planted crop has emerged despite the cold soils.

The wheat is done flowering and looking good after the dry winter and spring.
