IOWA CROP PROGRESS - BOTH CORN & SOYBEAN PLANTING NOW AHEAD OF AVERAGE PACE
Warm temperatures and below normal precipitation allowed soybean planting and crop progress to advance rapidly during the week ending May 25, 2014, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 5.3 days suitable for fieldwork. Other activities for the week included spraying, herbicide application, and some rotary hoeing to help crusted fields.

Subsoil moisture levels rated 7 percent very short, 25 percent short, 63 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus. Northwest Iowa was the driest with over 40 percent of topsoil and 60 percent of subsoil in very short to short condition.
For the first time this season, both corn and soybean acreage planted were above the five year average. Ninety-six percent of the expected corn acreage was planted, 13 percentage points ahead of last year and 1 percentage point more than average. Corn emergence reached 67 percent, 6 days in front of last year but 4 days behind normal.

The past reporting week brought much warmer and drier weather to Iowa. The coolest weather came on Sunday (17th) and Thursday (22nd) with daytime highs mostly in the 70’s. The warmest day in most areas was Tuesday (19th) with highs in the 80’s. Temperature extremes for the week varied from Friday (23rd) morning lows of 40 degrees at Cresco and Elkader to afternoon highs of 89 degrees at Sioux City on Tuesday and at Burlington and Donnellson on Wednesday. Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged from 1 to 2 degrees above normal east to 4 to 5 degrees above normal west with a statewide average of 2.6 degrees above normal.
