Tornadoes and windstorms occurred on the 11th with scattered hail and later light showers. rainfall ranged from under 0.25 inch in western areas to over 1 inch in the east, delaying farm work in places. Corn planting averaged 42 percent completed by midmonth, about 3 days behind typical, with regional variation due to subsoil moisture and drainage. Planting progress in the Des Moines and upper Raccoon valleys favored the main corn area, though two cold, cloudy days reduced vigor.
