Across the Corn Belt, cool, dry weather prevails. Scattered frost was noted Tuesday in portions of the upper Great Lakes region, including northern Lower Michigan. Cloudiness is increasing in advance of an approaching storm system, with producers continuing to plant corn and soybeans as field conditions permit. Although corn seeding was considerably slower in 2019, with only 53% of the crop planted by May 22, this year marks the second-slowest corn planting pace of the 21st century.
