June 2 Crop Progress Reports NE - IA - US

NEBRASKA CROP PROGRESS - 75% CORN AND SOYBEANS RATED GOOD/EXCELLENT

For  the week  ending  June  1,  2014,  precipitation  of  an  inch  or more was common  across much  of  the  state,  however  central  counties  received  lesser  amounts,  according  to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.  This continued  lack of significant rain  in central areas has resulted  in much  of  the  area  being  added  to  the  severe  to  extreme  drought  categories.  Temperatures  averaged  6  to  9  degrees  above  normal.  Alfalfa was  being  cut  for  the  first  time with  dry  bean  planting  underway  in western  counties. The  number  of  days  considered  suitable  for  fieldwork were  5.6. Topsoil moisture  supplies rated 8 percent very short, 24 short, 65 adequate, and 3 surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies rated 16 percent very short, 31 short, 52 adequate, and 1 surplus.

IOWA CROP PROGRESS - 82% OF CORN RATED GOOD/EXCELLENT


Warm weather and  favorable moisture conditions accelerated crop and pasture growth during  the week ending June 1, 2014, according  to  the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service.   Statewide  there were 5.1 days suitable for  fieldwork.   Other activities  for  the week  included spraying, herbicide application, and nitrogen side dressing.

Topsoil moisture  levels  rated  2 percent  very  short,  14 percent  short, 77 percent  adequate  and  7 percent  surplus.    Subsoil  moisture  levels rated  6 percent  very  short,  25 percent  short,  64 percent  adequate  and 5 percent  surplus.   For  the  first  time  this year,  southeast  Iowa had  the driest  topsoil with 10 percent  in very  short  condition, while northwest Iowa continued  to have  the driest subsoil with 21 percent  in very short condition.

With almost all of Iowa’s corn acreage planted, 89 percent of  the crop has  emerged,  19 percentage  points  ahead  of  last  year  but  equal  to  the five year average.   The  season’s  first  corn condition  rating came  in at 0 percent  very  poor,  1 percent  poor,  17 percent  fair,  65 percent  good, and  17 percent  excellent.   

Soybean  planting  progress  reached 94 percent  complete,  almost  three weeks  ahead  of  last  year  and  over two weeks  ahead  of  normal.    Sixty-three percent  of  the  soybean  crop has  emerged,  42  points  above  last  year  and  4  points  above  average. 

With most of  the oat acreage emerged, 12 percent of  the oat crop was headed,  ahead  of  last  year’s  3 percent  but  behind  average  by 3 percentage points.  Oat condition rated 0 percent very poor, 1 percent poor, 36 percent fair, 53 percent good, and 10 percent excellent.  

The first cutting of alfalfa hay was 22 percent complete, 19 percentage points ahead of last year but 12 points less than average.  Hay condition was  rated  0 percent  very  poor,  2 percent  poor,  29 percent  fair, 52 percent good, and 17 percent excellent.   Pasture condition improved to 2 percent very poor, 7 percent poor, 29 percent fair, 48 percent good and 14 percent excellent.   Livestock conditions were reported as above average.
