Corn Planting progress ?

How is the planting going in your neck of the woods ?

I'm located about 65 miles N.E. of St. Louis, MO, and my guess is our area is nearing 40% planted.

I have had 2.95 inches of rain in the past two days, total for the month so far is 8.7 inches.

Even with all the rain, we are not sopping wet. The ground really seems to be sucking in the water this spring.
 
Here in Northern Maryland, things have just started to warm up and dry out, but now we're expecting two or three days of heavy rain, so things are at a standstill again. I was down on the eastern shore on Saturday, and it was still mud down there- they're usually finished or near it by this time of the year, but barely started this year. A lot of them may just switch to beans instead. But, it's still plenty early. I can remember a time when we didn't even dare to put a planter into the ground before May 10th.....
 
Southern MN, a few tested out their planters last weekend and planted a field, but it has barely made 40-45 degrees since, we've had 3 days of constant cold rain. Not here yet, but snow flakes are not too far away I hear. Fields are saturated, standing cold rain on them.

Supposed to be dampish into Friday yet.

I can't see the planted corn doing all that well with this cold and wet, and only very little is planted. I don't see anyone getting in this dirt until the 6th - which has a 50% chance of rain.....

Got enough rain last week to hopefully bring corn up.Before rain it was dry down 4 inches.
They say about wheat "plant in dust your bins will bust". Hope that works for corn. Eastern Kansas is dry. Worse to the west.Alot of wheat will be toast if it doesn't rain in 2 weeks.
 
East Central Iowa, a LITTLE planting was happening until last Saturday, now cold and rainy through next weekend.
 
We finished regular corn last week and neighbor has 3 fields of seed corn for monsatan that hasn't been turned loose yet. They pulled the same trick last year and some almost got rejected because it was getting too late. A few have planted beans. Early planted before easter is coming up.
 
All done here, 40 miles NW Peoria IL. First corn planted Saturday before Easter, got a quarter inch sprout. Hope it stays underground this week!
