Its getting nasty in NIA and SMN..........never bet against mother nature.........sounds like water over roads........and pounding rain.......and the I70 corridor got it the other night......

Funny part is chicago and USDA is in rain makes grain mode.......bring on the TARA challange......170.......wow

[Hobbyfarmer]

lets see rain makes grain? I was flooded and haven't planted one kernel or seed. I70 last week, I90 tonight, I'm thinking I need to change my vote to 190ish.

O and remember that post about trying to refill the profile during corn planting being bad....well.......

Hence sell into soya rally.....let corn ride....

And it looks like not much of IA will be spared at this point......

It is just here now. Nothing like keeping the mud freshened up. 3;40am

No need worrying "nothing is going to turn out all right any way".

hows this for getting a crop in the ground?

Well... 3.5" in a 18 hr. period has put water over the roads, big ponds in all fields, cut gullies. tiles now running full. so much for the early start, replant now a REAL possibility. WC Indiana.

Looks like.......investing in tile was the right choice....investing in the irrigation might pay off later....

Ok,  what percentage of the 53% corn planted is affected by this sudden overabundance of rainfall?  How much of that will need to be replanted?  So much for the record planting pace.

Another question.....if farmers plant a field twice, does the USDA count those planted acres twice?

It was allowed for in the original numbers.
