U.S. #corn planting at 26% is even with the 5-year average, but #soybeans are safely ahead. Spring #wheat planting is 10 pts behind average and winter wheat conditions improved slightly (+2 good/exc, +1 poor/very poor).

U.S. spring #wheat was 12% planted as of Sunday, the third slowest for the date behind 1997 & 2011. Last year started a bit faster, but overly wet spring weather led to a record slow planting pace by late May 2022. Spring wheat acres are forecast at 51-year lows in 2023.

Top spring #wheat grower North Dakota is 6% planted, behind average of 13% but ahead of last year's 5%. ND has gotten a slow start in a handful of other years, but avoiding the 2022 progression will be key.

U.S. planting progress summary, #corn & #soybeans, April 30 U.S. corn planting pace is equal to the five-year average and soybeans are ahead. For example, Illinois is 11 percentage points ahead of average in corn and 24 pts ahead in beans, though Iowa is 5 pts behind in corn.

Wet and cold conditions have limited progress (OHIO)

A FAVORITE SITE OF MINE ~ LOTSA INFO.  "BETWEEN THE ROWS" IS WONDERFUL, IMO
