Left La Crosse WI and traveled to Waseca County MN. Our first field of 20" corn this year. 34,000 ppa at V7. The area had some hail at V2-V3. Soils were moist.
We traveled 100 miles southwest to Jackson Co MN (about 10 miles north of Worthington, MN). In that time we ran across areas that were clearly wet! A few fields still not planted, some planted early with water damage. Not drought conditions at all.
When we arrived in Jackson Co we found our field at V5 and 31,000 ppa. This field had no standing water, but the area was wet. Mud on the shoes for the first time on the trip. Studying the Agrible data, we found that the area is about 8" higher than normal rainfall. The field shows 14" since April 10. Considering that information, this was a really good field.
Off to Northwest Iowa for a stop then end the day with two stops in NE Nebraska.
