Spring planting across the Midwest was executed in a timely manner, setting the stage for a promising start to the growing season. Moisture levels are currently ranging from normal to above average, contributing to positive crop development.

In the southern regions, corn has reached the tasseling stage and is beginning to pollinate, indicating great growth and a healthy development phase. Meanwhile, in the Midwest, corn has achieved heights ranging from knee to waist level and is exhibiting rapid growth as it has received adequate moisture and heat recently.

The wheat harvest was anticipated to commence early, with projections of favorable yields in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. However, recent rainfall and storm activity have delayed the harvest in the Midwest. The wheat harvests this year have been quite varied. While some areas have reported yields up to 20% above average, other regions have been less successful and faced delays due to heavy rainfall and storms.

Farmers National Company remains optimistic about overall crop progress and continues to monitor weather conditions that could impact the growing season. For comprehensive local oversight of your farmland, please contact Farmers National Company today.
