While there are a few (but very few) halfway decent looking crops around. We see more dirt than green here - especially considering it is nearly the end of June in Minnesota!
There are A LOT of fields that look like these pics... planted really late due to never-ending rain, or just plain NOT-planted. Some fields that have been planted, have actually been put into oats for cover crop to meet requirements of multi-peril insurance (at least that is what I have been told).
Talked to a farmer at church... and he and his crew are guessing that about 50 percent of normal crop got planted around here this year in SE MN.
Even if the rains quit and we get some sun, I don't see how any of this stuff can reach maturity before it freezes. Could happen - but does not seem likely. We have never seen a year like this - nor do our parents remember one either (their ages range from late-70's to mid-80's).
