We are around a third done corn, we got chased out of the fields last night with rain.  We've only had maybe 4 suitable days for fieldwork and much of the wheat here only got nitrogen on it this week and a fair bit of that was rutted more than you'd like to see.  There is the odd field of beans in but just barely started. I'm sure we will end up with quite a few acres intended for corn going in as June beans.  Frustrating but looking at some of the photos of Manitoba and the southern states that are getting the flooding I don't think I'd want to trade plights with them.
