While there are a few (but very few) halfway decent looking crops around. We see more dirt than green here - especially considering it is nearly the end of June in Minnesota!
There are A LOT of fields that look like these pics... planted really late due to never-ending rain, or just plain NOT-planted. Some fields that have been planted, have actually been put into oats for cover crop to meet requirements of multi-peril insurance (at least that is what I have been told).
Talked to a farmer at church... and he and his crew are guessing that about 50 percent of normal crop got planted around here this year in SE MN.
