Some 81% of corn was reported emerged, above both the 76% emerged last year and the 64% emerged in the week prior. The 5-year average emergence rate for this week was 70%.
According to the latest USDA Crop Progress report, some 3% of corn has emerged in the week ended April 25, in line with the 3% emerged in the same week last year but below the 5-year average of 4%.
The most recent USDA crop progress report shows nearly all corn in the U.S. (95%) has emerged as of the week ended June 14, 2020, well above the 74% emerged this time last year and the 5 year average of 92%.
Despite an excess of rain and cooler temperatures throughout the region, farmers are moving forward with corn planting, matching the 5-year average of acreage planted on this date, but behind last year’s pace.
As of May 15, three-quarters of U.S. corn acres are in the ground and a little over one-third of soybeans, according to USDA’s most recent Crop Progress report.
