Wheat Growth Slowed By Cool Weather In Nebraska
Cool damp weather slowed growth of winter wheat in western Nebraska this week but the crop looks good and is unlikely to suffer much from a cutworm infestation. Farmers sprayed when worms were risky. moisture remains ample, supporting mid May growth. Top soil moisture is adequate statewide with some central north and northeast pockets. subsoil moisture is adequate. About 65 percent of Nebraska corn is planted, near normal but below last year. Southeast wet soils raise planting concerns. sorghum is 15 percent planted, soybeans about 10 percent.
