its almost a given that planters roll in the Midwest every March............you can find a field here or there or even more wide spread than that some years in IL, IA, IN, KS, MO, NE and points further south............whats your point...........are you going to try and correlate early springs to yield and acres............your too late, DTN already did that last week, and they used May 10th, which is far from early............guess what, IMO it doesn't show too much other than a bunch of colors, lines, dots and numbers...........IMO it actually tells another story, look at how many dots have fallen above that 0% line on the right, and as we enter into an era of 90M plus acres its going to be harder and harder to add any acres for corn in an early spring, and one big trip up will likely sink em............
you are somewhat naive to think that because a very small percentage is planted (the first time) in March every year that things are "rolling", but then again I still cant find any calendars anywhere that have 53 weeks.............so whatever..........
by the standards you are using to call things rolling, then nothing is abnormal at this point..........
EDIT: FYI, there is corn planted somewhere in the United States every month of the year, so did we ever really stop, LOL
