IN-CW2315 Indiana Crop Weather June 8, 2015

Cool Temperatures Keep Fields Damp

Cool weather and spotty rains throughout the week ending June 7

slowed crop growth, according to the USDA, NASS, Great Lakes

Region. Most of the state received little rainfall, but the below

average temperatures kept fields damp leading to delays. The

northern region experienced mild temperatures, while the South had

hot and humid days. There were 4.5 days available for fieldwork this

week.

Regionally, winter wheat was 87% headed in the North, 94% in

Central and 94% in the South. By region, corn was 93% emerged in

the North, 93% in Central, and 95% in the South. Soybeans emerged

was 71% complete in the North, 70% in Central, and 69% in the

South.

Farmers were finishing up the spring planting season with the

remaining soybeans, cucumbers, and tomato transplants. In Northern

and Central Indiana, some corn and soybean plants turned yellow

due to the soaked fields and poor spring planting conditions.

Previously ponded areas dried enough to replant. Cool and cloudy

conditions delayed hay cuttings, but did not affect growth. Livestock

was reported to be in good condition. Other activities for the week

included spraying fields, side dressing corn and wheat, hauling

grain, and mowing roadsides.

Special Note:

NASS is currently conducting its annual June surveys on crops and livestock. During the first two weeks of June, NASS will be contacting

producers across the country to determine planted acres for small grains and row crops, grain storage capacity and stocks on hand, livestock

inventories, and other agricultural use. We are also asking pork producers about this years farrowings, pig crop and current inventory. The responses will provide the foundation for 2015 acreage and hog estimates. All participating farmers should respond. Your information

matters!
