Eye on Crops: May 4, 2012

Brian Payne, Cyrus, MN

We finished planting corn on Tuesday May 1, and started planting soybeans Wednesday. As of Saturday morning, we only have one field of beans left to plant. Almost everyone in the area is done with corn, and most are working on beans. The first corn we put in two weeks ago is up, and you can row it when driving by.

Its raining today (Friday, May 4), and this is the fifth day out of the last eight we've gotten rain.  We've never had over 4/10 of rain at any time.
