ILLINOIS CORN PROGRESS JUST OVER A THIRD OF AVERAGE –

USDA’s Crop Progress Report released Tuesday showed only 35 percent of corn had been planted as of May 26. Nearly all corn was in the ground at this time last year, with 99 percent planted in 2018. Consistent rains and storm systems moving through the Midwest continue to keep planters in the sheds and farmers out of the fields. (USDA)
