Planting progress in Illinois saw decent gains last week.
Northwestern Illinois farmer Ellen Rahn tells Brownfield their area was busy.
“Planting progress has been going on around our neck of the woods all week pretty strong.” She says, “Some guys are kind of waiting after this rain to get a start, but I would say a majority of our area has been putting seed in the ground all week.”
USDA’s weekly crop progress and condition report shows 25% of corn and 26% of soybeans are planted.
Rahn says they’ve focused on soybeans.
