Iowa Corn Outlook Reported Excellent
Des Moines Iowa. Favorable weather in early last week allowed farmers to plant 97 percent of corn and 72 percent of soybeans according to the Iowa crop and livestock reporting service. Soybean planting ranges from 75 to 90 percent in the northern two thirds, with about half remaining in southern counties. Corn stands are average or better, six percent replanted statewide. Prospects are excellent across the state, a sharp contrast to two years ago when heavy rains delayed planting. Soil moisture is good except in about eight counties in the extreme northeast.
