The week ended with heavy showers totaling up to 3.35 inches locally, with moisture unevenly distributed. Seeding of small grain is largely complete in three quarters of the state, though some delays remain where soil conditions are poor. Plowing for corn is advancing, and intends to exceed last year's acreage, though germination remains slowed by cold. Overall conditions are somewhat better than last year at this time.
