A view of the #CropWatch19 #corn field in southern Illinois. Half of the 90 acres needs replanting but it is far too wet to attempt that now. And more rain may be coming early next week. Planted May 18.
Here's the end rows on the higher ground. #Corn in this part of the field is looking average at best right now. 
The #CropWatch19 #soybeans in southern Illinois, right next to the corn, are in better shape than the corn but at least 10 acres of the 90 need replanting - if it ever dries up.
And by the way, these are the same two corn and soybean fields that Crop Watch has followed since 2017. This is the third year following these fields - no cherry-picking was involved.
For reference, this producer reports that he has 200 acres of #corn out of 1000 intended that has emerged. The rest is either planted and not emerged or needs replanting. Some 100 acres still need to be planted for the first time.
