3.61 inches of rain for the week of April 26 has put a halt to field operations. Early planted soybeans look excellent. Early corn has emerged and is off to a good start, despite the cooler temperatures. Most corn planted in the window before the large rain still has not emerged. Replant operations appear to be likely on those acres. Soft red winter wheat has headed out, and anthers have appeared, triggering aerial applications of head scab fungicide.

Extremely wet and cool.
