Another week in Ohio and the USDA outlook reports indicate that the vast majority of corn in the state is planted. In our area we still have some hills to finish. Soybeans are well underway. Growing degree reports indicate that we are near to catching up on heat units to the past two years. Cooler spring weather has still given way to a trend in growing degree days that is still above average. However, a brief cool spell is with us now. Rainfall trends are generally above average so far this season largely due to a wet winter. In general, I hear positive reports on grain crop condition but challenges in hay making weather.
