fields dried enough to allow tractors a chance to get in fields to plant. “Many growers aban-


doned a considerable por- tion of their corn planting intentions before a suitable planting window of oppor- tunity finally occurred in the last few days of April and first week of May,” Larson said.


acreage remains at histor- ically low levels at 40,000 acres, down 5,000 from March estimates. “Record rainfall during


the first quarter of 2020 limited wheat productivity and may have caused some acres to be aban- doned prior to harvest this spring,” Larson said. Peanut-planted acres are estimated at 25,000,
