USA planted 8.4 million acres of #corn in the week ended May 26, but there is still almost 39 million to go. Illinois planted the most (1.2 mln acres) but they still have the most to plant (7.3 mln). South Dakota still has 4.5m to go and Indiana 4.3m. #plant19

Nebraska's final planting date for full insurance was May 25, as was most of North and South Dakota. Just the corn-heavy southeast portion of SD, as well as a couple counties in SE ND, have until May 31. All of IA, MN, WI. MO, and KS will also be at the cutoff by May 31.

As of May 26, U.S. farmers still had 60 million acres of #soybeans left to plant. North Dakota planted 1.43 million acres last week - the most by far of any state. Illinois has the most left to do at 9 million. Insurance dates are still 2-4 weeks away. #plant19
