Corn and wheat weak. Pretty good for beans.

Crop progress report. Nothing unusual.

http://usda.mannlib.cornell.edu/usda/current/CropProg/CropProg-10-29-2018.txt

Corn at the average of 63% done.

Beans a bit behind at 72% vs 81% average.

Winter wheat 78% planted behind the 85% average. KS behind by 13% and MO behind by 7%. Emerged at 63% vs 67% average.

This upcoming very wet weather pattern will make it challenging  to get the remaining Winter wheat planted in the Eastern Winter Wheat belt in timely fashion. However, the weather models actually don't look as wet as they did a few days ago. 

Rain the next 2 weeks. 

Forecast Hour:  384
