Corn planting is nearly finished at 96 percent complete, up 2 percentage points from a week earlier.

Despite the wet weather, soybean planting advanced 10 points to 94 percent complete. Soybean conditions are 58 percent good to excellent. Soybean emergence advanced 17 percentage points to 81 percent complete.
