Todd Easton Coles County May 8 2009: Hello everyone wish I had better news than what I do. Because of the .7” we received on the 1st here has been absolutely no planting progress in the area since the beginning of last week. We were looking to start at the first of next week but after receiving .25” Thursday night it will be the middle of next week at best. The small amount of corn that has already been planted is starting to come up mainly in the high spots but a few fields are almost totally emerged and looking decent so far. Until next week keep dry.
