Take Home • Current conditions: • Very delayed planting/development continues across Corn Belt – below avg. GDD. • Much cooler than average for May • Precipitation above to well above average statewide – very limited deficits at 90 days. • Outlook info: . • • More rain and severe weather possible this week.
