Field crop planting is mostly complete across
Michigan.
Widespread storms last week caused flooding and
damage in some areas of Michigan because of heavy rain and strong winds.
The USDA says corn is now 93 percent emerged,
and condition dropped seven points to 58 percent good to excellent. Soybeans are 92 percent emerged, and
condition dropped ten points to 57 percent good to excellent.
President of the Corn Marketing Program of
Michigan Paul Wagner says this year’s planting season had some rain delays, but
it was still better than last year.
