With the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, the weekly USDA NASS release is pushed back a day to Tuesday and will likely not show much in the way of planting progress for Iowa. Farmers continue to wait for fields to dry out and the hope to string a number of good weather days together to make for a big week of field work progress. The featured chart presents the weekly estimated corn planting progress from USDA NASS. The bars represent the percentage point change in corn planting progress or rewording, the percentage of the corn crop planted over the seven day period. The maximum value each year is labelled on the left and this year's value of just 26% is below most of the biggest weeks found during previous years.
