USDA Crop Progress report delayed until 5pm ET Issued April 5, 2021 by the Agricultural Statistics Board of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. For more information contact Lance Honig, Lance.honig@ usda.gov. USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is delaying today’s Crop Progress report one hour until, April 5 at 5 p.m. ET.
USDA's weekly crop progress reports are back.
Spring planting is in the early stages with #corn at 2% and spring #wheat at 3%.
Winter wheat as of Sunday is rated 53% good/excellent - exactly what analysts expected - up from 46% at the end of November.
Just an FYI for anyone new here, "3% trade" next to the corn planting number, for example, indicates that the trade estimate was 3%. Reuters conducts those surveys midday each Monday.
If the current weather holds here in northern Iowa we will have a nearly perfect planting season.
I have seeded the oats and I imagine there are folks ready to go on the corn.
A rain this week will be welcomed and we will be off to the races when it dries off.
Thanks mcfarmer! Keep us posted.
