Nebraska Corn Planting Way Behind Schedule
(KLZA) Corn planting in Nebraska, Iowa and some other states is way, way behind last year, and that's just fine with a lot of farmers.
Other than the flooding it's been causing in some spots, the rainstorms have been welcome, wet events in the drought-ridden corn belt.
Last spring the skies weren't so generous, but they allowed the planting of about 30 percent of the Nebraska crop by the end of April.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that almost no Nebraska planting has been done so far this year and little - if any - is expected by Monday.
Commodities broker Doug Simon, of Ag Risk Consulting in Lincoln, says that what's most important is what happens in the growing months of June, July and August.
