Iowa producers planted nearly 900,000 acres of corn per day last week. According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Progress Report, published 14 May 07, 77% of Iowa’s corn acreage is now planted (refer to NASS link below). This is 5 days behind the 5 year average. Yet there is no need to change hybrids or cropping intentions.
