NEBRASKA CROP PROGRESS - CORN & SOYBEAN PLANTING PACE NOW AHEAD OF AVERAGE
For the week ending May 11, 2014, most of Nebraska received precipitation during the week, with amounts varying widely across the state, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Localized areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms in eastern Nebraska caused some damage to irrigation equipment and buildings late in the week. Areas of southwest Nebraska remained in an extreme drought in spite of the rain. Average temperatures ranged from 4 degrees below normal in the panhandle to 6 degrees above normal in southeast Nebraska. Activities included corn and soybean planting and moving cattle to pasture. The number of days considered suitable for fieldwork were 5.1. Topsoil moisture supplies rated 13 percent very short, 25 short, 58 adequate, and 4 surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies rated 17 percent very short, 35 short, 48 adequate, and 0 surplus.
Field Crops Report:
Corn planted was 77 percent, well ahead of 39 last year but near 71 average. Corn emerged was 18 percent, ahead of 2 last year but behind 21 average.
Soybeans planted was 36 percent, well ahead of 6 last year and 30 average.
Oats condition rated 1 percent very poor, 17 poor, 41 fair, 40 good, and 1 excellent. Oats planted was 96 percent, ahead of 93 last year but near 97 average. Oats emerged was 83 percent, well ahead of 56 last year, but near 79 average.

IOWA CROP PROGRESS - CORN PLANTING CATCHES UP TO NORMAL
Optimal conditions allowed almost half of the expected corn acreage to be planted in Iowa during the week ending May 11, 2014, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Average temperatures were above normal for the week, while average precipitation was below normal. Statewide there were 4.9 days suitable for fieldwork. Other activities for the week included fertilizer and herbicide application, manure hauling, and spraying.
Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 10 percent short, 74 percent adequate and 15 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 9 percent very short, 26 percent short, 60 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus. Northwest Iowa remained the driest with almost one-third of topsoil reported as very short or short of moisture.
Planting advanced rapidly at the beginning of the week. Oat seeding was 92 percent complete, 13 percentage points ahead of last year but only 3 percentage points behind the five-year average. Sixty-five percent of the oat acreage had emerged, ahead of last year’s 42 percent, but 12 percentage points behind average. Seventy percent of the expected corn acreage was planted, 8 days ahead of last year but equal to the normal pace. Corn was slow to emerge with only 9 percent of the acreage emerged, 20 percentage points less than average. Soybean planting was 20 percent complete, advancing 19 percentage points from last week and only 2 days behind normal.
Pasture condition rated 6 percent very poor, 12 percent poor, 40 percent fair, 35 percent good and 7 percent excellent. More livestock have been moved onto pastures across the State.
